Window Joints need frequent maintenance to keep water from leaking and causing damage to the structure. It is also important to make sure that windows are sealed to keep heat from escaping your building during the winter months. Tri-State can help to diagnose any of your waterproofing needs, Call 800-659-2019 for more info!


PROJECT SHOWCASE:
The Challenge - Customer contacted Tristate in the fall having had a problem with multiple areas of water penetration over the years. Other companies had viewed the job but not properly diagnosed the situation. The customer was looking to solve the problems under a strict time constraint by the end of the year.

The Solution - After meeting with hotel representatives, Tri-State made the following observations and recommendations:

• 20% of the building had flashing on bottom sills of window boxes while 80% did not
• Customer acknowledged there had been an addition on the building and coincidentally the new addition had no leaking.

Tri-State proposed all window boxes to be flashed in a similar fashion, visually matching the existing flashing for aesthetic purposes. Customer gave the go ahead for work to be commenced in the beginning of November. Materials were ordered and work began on November 20th. Over 400 window boxes with 12 foot sections of flashing were installed and caulked by December 11th.
