SAVE YOURSELF FROM

MOPPING WATER FROM LEAKED WINDOWS

Get them repaired by experts

Rainy days are something that everyone experiences on a regular basis. Do you start to doubt your own sanity while collecting buckets and towels to mop up the water that has poured into your house through the broken windows?

A leaking window can entirely ruin the goodness of the cooling showers outside. After days of extreme temperature, varying weather conditions, the leaky windows can no longer be air or water-tight.

Allow a trained Window Medics specialist to help you restore the wholesome feeling of the rains so you can enjoy the wet season with comfort and happiness.

RAINY DAYS NO LONGER MEAN HARD WORK

Taking care of All Your Window Woes

Preparing yourself with mugs and mops as you try super hard and annoyed to clean the leaks and save your home from flooding can be a prevalent scenario! Are you unable to enjoy the rainy weather while listening to music and sipping a hot cup of tea? Get your windows repaired as soon as possible, and live your life as if there isn’t a tomorrow.

In older homes, window leaks are common. Windows are no longer air- or water-tight after years of extreme temperatures, changing weather conditions, damaged window frames, broken glazing seals, or an out-of-square unit are all possibilities (leaving gaps where water can seep in).

Water leaks in older windows are more typical, although they can also occur in modern windows. Window Design, window installation and maintenance are the three most important factors that influence whether windows are leaking or not.

House Plans:

Above the window, the fascia board is angled incorrectly. Water should be directed away from the unit, so it should be turned outward.

Overhangs to divert rainfall away from the roof and prevent wind-driven rainwater from entering the building are absent.

Installation:

Water infiltration can be caused by improperly installed windows or gaps in the flashing.

Water will seep behind the paper and into the wall area around the windows if building paper or house wrap is used instead of specially designed window flashing.

Maintenance:

Caulking at the window flange and seams is broken or missing.

Cracked glazing putty—the seal between the double-glazed windows will be broken, allowing moisture and condensation to enter.

To create a tight seal, paint should slightly overlap from the window molding to the glass.

There are a few ways to tell if a window is leaking:

Check for leaks in your windows and make a note of the exact location of the sloppy puddle.

See if your windows can be rattled.

If there is daylight visible around the window frame, the window is leaking.

Make sure the storm windows are tight enough and aren’t broken.

Old windows leak a lot.

Perform a basic building pressurization test to increase infiltration through cracks and leaks, making them more easily detectable.

Leaks on the wall around, above, or below the window usually indicate an opening in the wall allowing water to enter and run along with the studs of the window, pooling below or above. However, this open space may not be directly around the window.

REPAIRING WINDOWS WITH A TEAM OF PROFESSIONALS

Leaks are just as common in older homes around the roof or upstairs. Unfortunately, it is not always easy to determine the cause without removing the entire window. While your walls appear to be in good condition on the room side, there may be a visible pattern of rot or even mold on the wall length.

This could be due to wear and tear from operating the window, sealed unit failure, or deterioration over time in older windows. Wearing weather-stripping, clogged drainage channels forcing water back into your home, or a misaligned sash could all be contributing factors.

Consider the scenario in which your window is leaking beyond the confines of the unit itself and is impacting or has injured the structure around it. In that instance, the only suitable remedy is to contact a qualified window leak repair Ottawaprofessional for an evaluation and proper repair of the issues that have been identified.

While a full-frame replacement is more expensive than other options, it is also the most comprehensive. Window professionals will remove any damaged or rotten wood from the frame and the surrounding wall structure when reinstalling the window.
