Water Removal Lenoir City – Leaky Windows
Architects design windows to keep out moisture and rain. Buildings often shift over time, causing gaps sometimes to appear, allowing moisture and water to enter. Caulking around windows and doors may also fail, allowing moisture to penetrate. A combination of condensation, damp, and leaking windows can contribute to mold growth and damage to the structure around the window or door.

Water leaking into a home around windows and doors can do a great deal of damage to the structure, the flooring, and may even cause health issues for the occupants. Window frames may rot away slowly, and mold infestations can occur, spreading high concentrations of mold spores throughout the home.
SERVPRO checks for water leakage around window and door frames. We utilize moisture meters to check for high moisture levels inside walls and cavities. We may need to remove drywall and insulation that has been contaminated by mold infestations. Once the structure has dried, the window frames can be repaired and sealed. New insulation and drywall can be installed and painted.
The wood in wood frame windows may have deteriorated. Water that has been leaking around the window for a long time can cause this type of damage. The wood structure around the window opening needs verifying for structural integrity, and new windows need installing.
SERVPRO can help consumers with this type of water damage in addition to leaks from plumbing, overflowing sinks, and toilets. Our technicians can restore your home to its preloss condition, "Like it never even happened."
