What buildings in Charlotte are up against
Charlotte's summers are hot and humid, and afternoon thunderstorms bring short bursts of very heavy, wind-driven rain. Tropical storm remnants add multi-day soaking events most years. The most common problems we find are window and storefront perimeter leaks, missing or reversed flashing at roof-to-wall transitions, and failed sealant joints on newer multifamily and mixed-use buildings.
