WINDOW LEAKS, FOGGING and OPERATION ISSUES
Window and sliding glass door issues are a frequent homeowner concern. Homeowners have reported the following conditions to us:
- Window leaks
- “Fogging” or condensation between the panes
- Staining to window sills or ledges
- Staining to drywall around windows
- Windows not opening/closing properly
- Cracked windows
- Wind or dust coming through windows
- Stucco cracks around windows
Leaks can be caused by improper installation, defects with the window itself, or even movement of the building structure that damages the window. Building movement can also cause windows (and doors) to become difficult to open and close. The exemplar photos below show a variety of issues that have been documented in our clients’ homes:
DISCLAIMER: The photos above are for illustration and reference purposes only. Your property may or may not have the issues represented above, and no legal representations, guarantees or warranties are made with respect to the ability to recover for the same or similar issues. The existence of a defect or construction problem, including those illustrated above, does not necessarily mean that there is a legal basis for recovery. There are several statutes of limitations, applicable laws, building codes and possible legal defenses which will impact a homeowner’s or homeowner associations’ ability to assert a claim and recover damages or other legal relief. Questions about the foregoing should be directed to one of our attorneys.
