Window Leak Detection in Central Florida
Fast, non-invasive window leak detection — for homes and businesses across Lake, Marion, Orange, Osceola, Polk, Seminole, and Sumter counties.
Water pooling on the sill after a storm, a stain or peeling paint on the wall just below a window, damp drywall beside the frame, or a sill that’s starting to soften and rot — these are the signs water is getting in around your window. The Water Leak Detectors pinpoint window leaks across Central Florida, finding exactly where the water is entering so it can be sealed before it damages the frame and the wall below.
Find the entry point, stop the damage. We locate the leak precisely so the repair is targeted — and if we can’t find it, you don’t pay (residential copper-pipe guarantee terms apply).
Is It a Window Leak or Just Condensation?
Before assuming the worst, it helps to know the difference. Condensation forms on the glass itself — a foggy or wet surface when warm, humid air meets cool glass — and it usually wipes away and isn’t a structural problem. A true window leak shows up around the window: water on the sill, stains or soft spots on the wall below, or dampness in the frame, especially after rain. If the water is appearing anywhere but the face of the glass — or it tracks down the wall — it’s a leak, and that’s what we find and pinpoint.
Common Causes of Window Leaks
In Central Florida, window leaks usually trace back to one of these:
-
Failed or cracked caulk and sealant around the window frame
-
Deteriorated or missing flashing above the window
-
Clogged or blocked weep holes that can’t drain the track
-
Gaps from improper installation or a failed nailing fin
-
Cracked stucco, siding, or trim around the opening
-
Worn weatherstripping, made worse by wind-driven storm rain
Signs of a Window Leak
Any of these is worth checking before the frame and wall are damaged:
-
Water pooling on the windowsill or track after rain
-
Stains, discoloration, or peeling paint on the wall below the window
-
Soft, swollen, or rotting wood around the sill or frame
-
Damp or warped drywall beside the window
-
Mold, mildew, or a musty smell near the window
-
Leaking that’s worse during heavy or wind-driven rain
How We Detect Window Leaks
Pinpointing where water enters around a window takes the right tools and a methodical check:
-
We map the moisture. A moisture meter and FLIR thermal camera show where water has spread around the sill, frame, and wall below.
-
We test the window. Using controlled water testing, we recreate the conditions that cause the leak to find the exact entry point — caulk, flashing, weep hole, or installation gap.
-
We confirm and mark. We verify the source and mark it clearly so the repair seals the right spot — not just the symptom.
Why a Window Leak Shouldn’t Wait
Window leaks quietly attack the structure around the opening. Water soaks into the sill and framing and rots the wood, damages the drywall and insulation in the wall below, stains and bubbles paint, and feeds mold inside the wall cavity. On stucco homes it can spread behind the surface before you ever see it. Finding and sealing the entry point early keeps it to a simple repair instead of rebuilding the framing around the window.
Honest, Flat-Rate Pricing
Residential window leak detection is a flat $350 — you know the price before we arrive, with no hidden callout fees. Commercial detection is $450 for the first two hours, then $50 per additional half hour. We pinpoint the entry point precisely so any repair is as small as possible.
