Old Window caulking caused this water leak

Window Caulking Leak Repair in Miami. We have solutions for leaking windows in Miami-Dade.

Window caulking leak repair is one of the most sought out services MiamiImpactGlass.com provides. Each time it rains, we get several phone calls from Coral Gables and Miami homeowners with windows that are leaking heavily. Most often, when we arrive and inspect the windows, the window leak source is usually originating from the perimeter caulking around the window frame.

This PGT mulled picture shows signs of interior water leak damage. The degraded caulking looks like a tub. The tile caulking is not meant for exterior use. The caulking has been wet too long therefore resulting in absorbed water. This causes a mold breeding ground. With the proper exterior sealant, caulking break down will not happen.

Now what do we do about it?

Wet sealant lines detach from the window frame and the stucco resulting in a window problem. Water leaks into the wall and under the paint resulting in long dry times. If it stays wet it grows mold. If you have leaks give us a call. Our work is guaranteed 5 years resulting in long satisfaction. We use professional grade sealants however some companies don’t.

Why does my window have mold on it?

The caulking sealant was not applied properly. It is not premium caulking that was used. Don’t be upset out if you do see mold on your window. Sometimes the season can even cause this and it is totally normal to call a window repair company to come out and perform some maintenance for you. Therefore when you do get a nice set of windows, make sure to always maintain them properly and call us if you ever need Window Caulking Leak Repair in Miami.

Will the mold disappear when it dries?

It will take a very long time for it to fix. Seal it back up after it dries. Windows are dirty.  Make sure you have a repair agreement with a window company in other words give us a call soon.

Did the window company use the wrong caulking?

That is hard to say.
