Defect / Water Leak Remediation

Another home owner reporting water showing up around their windows.

Remember the farm houses with large wrap-around porches… Besides lacking character or any architectural appeal, the back of this house has so very little protection from the elements.

Note what appears to be an attempt to stem the flood of water penetration by means of installing some sort of aluminum overhead drip over the top of the window.

Yes, those are mushrooms growing out from under the exterior window trim.

In any regard, whether architecturally appealing or not…even with the extreme exposure and the pressboard sheathing, if the flashing products were simply installed correctly…

…none of this damage would be occurring.

And the ironic part is that of all the relatively technical or skillful aspects required to…

…build a home, installing flashing products correctly is really one of the most simplistic. Anybody can make a mistake, but the kind of errors that…

…lead to the entire back side of a house needing substantial repair like this are nothing short of gross neglect and a failure to employ even a modicum of quality control.
