Common Leak Sources & Their Impact
Water leaks often originate from various points in a building's exterior, including deteriorated window and door seals, faulty flashing, compromised curtain walls, or cracks in the building facade. Over time, Chicago's harsh weather, including freezing temperatures and strong winds, can accelerate this deterioration. Undetected leaks can lead to significant issues like mold growth, structural wood rot, damaged insulation, electrical hazards, and compromised indoor air quality. Our expertise ensures we identify these common entry points and the less obvious ones, mitigating potential long-term damage and health risks to your property and its occupants.
