Company: Zavza Seal LLC

Project Overview

Our team at Zavza Seal LLC was called in to resolve water intrusion issues affecting the top of a front window frame in a residential property located in Brooklyn, NY. The client had been experiencing water leaks, leading to drywall damage and potential mold concerns. Our goal was to address the root cause of the intrusion, repair the damaged areas, and ensure long-lasting waterproofing.

Client’s Concern

The primary issue was water intrusion at the top of the front window frame, which led to water-damaged drywall and potential mold growth. The client needed a comprehensive solution that included not only repairs but also preventative waterproofing to avoid future damage.

Our Diagnosis

Upon inspection, our team identified the following key issues:

1. Compromised Sealant: The exterior joints around the window frame and decorative wood plank frame lacked adequate sealing, allowing water to seep in.
2. Sliding Door Track: Water was infiltrating through the sliding door track of the apartment directly above, contributing to the leak.
3. Drywall Damage: The drywall soffit above the sliding door frame was extensively damaged by moisture.

Our Solution

To provide a lasting solution, we developed a thorough plan to repair, waterproof, and restore the affected areas. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the work performed:

1. Water Intrusion Repair & Waterproofing
   • Sealing Joints: We installed new, high-quality sealant in the exterior joints of the window frame and the decorative wood plank frame to ensure a watertight seal.
   • Sliding Door Inspection: We inspected the sliding door track above the window frame and sealed any gaps or openings to prevent further water infiltration.
   • Drywall Repair: We removed the water-damaged drywall soffit above the sliding door frame and installed new sheetrock, carefully taping and compounding the seams.
2. Additional Work – Sanding & Painting
   • After ensuring the area was dry, we sanded the repaired drywall and prepared it for painting.
   • The client chose their preferred paint color, and we applied a smooth, professional finish.
3. Complimentary Services
   As part of our commitment to customer satisfaction, we provided the following services at no extra charge:
   • Blind Removal: Safely removed the existing blind to access the repair area.
   • Floor & Furniture Protection: Ensured all surrounding areas were protected during repairs.
   • Plant Relocation: Assisted in moving two plants near the repair area.
   • Debris Removal: Hauled away debris resulting from drywall removal.
   • Mold Inspection: One of our NY-certified mold remediators assessed the area for potential mold growth to ensure the home remained safe and healthy.
