Groundwater seepage is common in Erie's older homes near the lake plain. We first identify the entry point — often through cracks in the foundation or below grade. Our solution includes interior water extraction, installing sump pumps if needed, and drying the basement with dehumidifiers and air movers. We also recommend sealing cracks and improving grading to prevent future issues.

Yes, window leaks from rain or snowmelt can cause wood rot in window frames, damage drywall, and lead to mold inside wall cavities. Erie's lake-effect snow and wind-driven rain make windows vulnerable. Renzi's will extract trapped moisture, dry the affected area, and treat for mold. We also advise caulking and weatherstripping to reduce recurrence.
