Every glazing system in its operational life will suffer water ingress at some point. Leaking glazing can be as a direct result of glazing failure, draining system blockage or seal deterioration. If your glazing is leaking, this can be highly disruptive to the daily operations of the building and occupants. Not only can leaking glazing be disruptive, it also creates significant health and safety issues, especially within high footfall areas.

Common Window Leak Repair Issues

‍

Window leaks can arise from various issues, necessitating professional repair services:

‍

Glazing Failure: Compromises in the glazing system leading to water ingress.

‍

Drainage System Blockage: Obstructions preventing proper water drainage.

‍

Seal Deterioration: Ageing or damaged seals allowing water to penetrate.

‍

Design or Construction Flaws: Inherent issues in the window's design or installation.

‍

Previous Inadequate Repairs: Past repairs using substandard materials or methods.

‍

Prompt attention to these issues is crucial to prevent further damage and ensure the safety and comfort of building occupants.

For a glazing system to be water-tight and keep the inclement UK weather out, the system is highly reliant on EPDM weather gaskets and sealants. It is therefore critical that regular maintenance and servicing of the glazing system is fully up-to-date.

‍

Failure to do so will dramatically increase the likelihood that your glazing system will age prematurely, and the buildings occupants and users will soon experience water ingress and leaks.

‍

Not all leaks to a glazing system are caused as a result of a lack of maintenance. Ingress can also occur as a direct consequence of design or construction issues, or as a result of previous poor repairs carried out with inadequate experience or materials.

‍

A leaking or poorly performing glazing system should be investigated immediately, as leaving it unattended can result in complete system failure and a major health and safety issue.
