Water intrusion

Find the path water is taking before repairing the visible damage.

Water intrusion may involve roofing, exterior sealants, windows, cladding, transitions, drainage or multiple conditions at once. Axis Point Contracting Ltd. starts by narrowing the likely path.

What it may indicate

What visible moisture may be connected to.

Interior damage can be separated from the exterior entry point.

Roof or wall transition

Water can enter where different materials and assemblies meet.

Window or sealant detail

Failed perimeter sealants, flashing or installation details can allow moisture behind finishes.

Drainage and grade

Water directed toward the building can place pressure on exterior assemblies and foundations.

What to do next

Separate immediate protection from permanent repair.

An urgent response may focus first on limiting further water entry and making the area safer. Permanent repair should address the actual path and damaged materials.

Document when the issue appears, weather conditions, locations of staining and any changes over time.

Questions

Common questions

Straight answers help clients decide what to do next.

Can interior drywall be repaired before the source is fixed?

The source should be addressed first. Closing the area too early can conceal ongoing moisture or damaged materials.

Is water intrusion always a roofing problem?

No. It can involve roofs, walls, windows, sealants, drainage or exterior transitions.

What information is helpful?

Provide photographs, the affected rooms, when moisture appears, recent weather and any exterior condition visible from the ground.
