Why do my windows leak when it rains?

1/7/2020 (Permalink)

Most often window leaks during rain are the result of faulty installation or improper construction. It could also be a lack of overhangs or improperly angled fascia that drain water and protect against wind-driven rain. Or leaks could be the result of poor maintenance or missing caulking.

How window leaks could affect your home?

Window leakage is more than just annoying—it can cause damage to your home, including mold and mildew growth, wood rot, or even foundation problems! Never ignore leaky windows. If you notice water around your windows after it rains, you should consider having your windows repaired or replaced. If you don’t notice right away water coming in, it could damage some of the following materials:

• Drywall
• Carpet
• Carpet pad
• Insulation
• Baseboards
• Cabinets
• Laminate

Its always best to repaired before it gets worst and materials are affected. If your property has water damage, it’s best to call a water damage restoration company instead of fixing the mess yourself. The professionals will handle everything and leave your house as it was before the damage.
