Water remediation work has become a substantial percentage of our business over the past 20+ years.
This project does NOT involve remediation work of course, because flashing windows correctly precludes the need…
…for water damage remediation work. The point being that we have been formally trained by window manufactures to properly…
…install & flash windows & doors. In our experience, improper flashing is behind 98% of all residential water leak problems.
Home Builders are on the hook for defective workmanship for 10 years in the state of Oregon.
But if the evidence doesn’t show up for a number of years, which it frequently does not, allowing water to access the wall cavities…
…undetected, the bill to effect the repairs on an exterior wall can be the size of a remodel. We know this of course, because…
…we’re on both ends of the equation. We are hired to install windows correctly to help builders avoid lawsuits, such as on this project…
…and frequently hired to affect the repairs when someone installs the windows or doors incorrectly.
To view some examples of the consequences of improper flashing, you might check out our water damage remediation page (https://www.adwm.net/list_projects.php?cat_ID=8&subcat_ID=5), which can also be found under the residential WINDOW REPAIR section of this portfolio.
