Signs You Need Flashing Repair or Replacement
Commercial thru-wall flashing helps prevent water intrusion at critical points of your building, including windows, doors, and other transition zones. Thru-wall flashing creates a continuous barrier, forming a “pan,” so when water does penetrate the outer layers of your building, the flashing catches it and directs it away from your building rather than toward it.
Most modern businesses have already installed thru-wall flashing, but you may need it repaired or replaced if you’ve noticed the following:
- Visible Water Damage: This includes water stains around windows and doors or discoloration, streaking, rust, or efflorescence on your building’s exterior.
- Structural Deterioration: Deterioration could manifest as wood rot, peeling or bubbling paint, warped wood trim around openings, or cracked or loose caulking.
- Masonry Issues: Damaged wall flashing can result in missing or deteriorating mortar joints and spalling or cracking brick.
- Pooling Water: Thru-wall flashing is designed to catch and redirect water; exterior or interior water pooling indicates that this system is no longer working.
- Mold: Unaddressed water intrusion will eventually result in mold or mildew growth near exterior walls.
Our Process
- On-Site Evaluation: Our team arrives on-site to perform a comprehensive evaluation of your thru-wall flashing system. This evaluation helps our team identify the root cause of the issue and develop a customized repair or replacement plan.
- Action Plan: After we inspect your system, we’ll report the cause of the damage and explain your available options.
- Job Execution: Once you approve our recommendations, our team will begin deconstructing the cladding, expansion joints, and other critical parts of your thru-wall flashing system. When installing new materials, we always source the highest-quality materials to ensure your newly repaired system withstands the test of time.
