Curtain Wall Injection & Facade Leak Repair in South Florida
Wind-driven rain finds every gap in a high-rise facade. We trace where water gets in and inject sealants into window perimeters, slab edges and panel joints, usually without removing glass or cladding.

Curtain Wall Injection inSouth Florida
Stopping facade leaks at the source
Curtain wall injection is a targeted leak repair for building facades. Instead of replacing glazing or tearing off cladding, we locate the water path and inject polyurethane or specialty sealants into the joints, voids and concrete cracks that carry water into the building.
South Florida towers take a beating from hurricane-season rain driven sideways at high wind speeds. Leaks show up as stained drywall, damaged flooring and mold at window heads and slab edges, often floors away from where the water actually enters.
Because we specialize in injection, we focus on the concrete-to-frame transitions and slab edges where many facade leaks start. Where the problem is the glazing system itself, we will tell you so you can bring in the right glazing contractor.

How it works
Our curtain wall injection process
Investigate the leak
We review interior damage, the facade details and the weather when leaks occur.
Trace the water path
Targeted water testing helps isolate where water actually enters the envelope.
Prepare injection points
Ports are installed at the joints, cracks or voids carrying water.
Inject
Sealant is injected to fill the path and bond to the surrounding substrates.
Test and document
We re-test the repaired area where practical and document the work.
Applications

- Window and sliding door perimeters
- Slab edges and floor lines
- Concrete-to-frame transitions
- Panel and expansion joints
- Balcony door thresholds
- Parapets and coping
- Mullion anchors and penetrations
- Stucco and concrete cracks around openings
Warning signs
When to call about curtain wall injection
Not sure what you are looking at? Send us a photo or book a site visit and we will tell you what the crack or leak needs.
Stains below windows
Water staining under window sills or at the floor line.
Leaks during storms only
Leaks that appear in wind-driven rain point to the building envelope.
Wet carpet at exterior walls
Water tracking along the slab edge into units.
Peeling paint or mold
Recurring paint failure or mold near windows and sliders.
Leaks on lower floors
Water entering high up can travel down inside the wall cavity.
Cracked concrete at openings
Cracks at window corners are a frequent path for water.
Choosing the right repair
Why injection instead of replacement
Replacing curtain wall glazing or recladding a facade is expensive, slow and disruptive to residents and tenants. When the leak is at a joint, a slab edge or a crack, injection can seal it at a fraction of the cost and with little or no work inside the units.
Early leak control also protects the building’s structure. Water that reaches slab edges and embedded steel can start the corrosion that leads to concrete restoration later.
FAQ
Curtain Wall Injection questions
What is curtain wall injection?
It is a facade leak repair method in which sealants are injected into the joints, cracks and voids where water is entering a building, usually without removing glass or cladding.
Can you fix leaks without going into units?
Many repairs are performed from the exterior or from the slab edge. Some investigation inside affected units is usually needed to confirm the leak path.
Do you work on high-rise buildings?
Yes. We work on condominium towers, office buildings and hotels, coordinating access with the property manager and building engineer.
Is curtain wall injection the same as curtain grouting?
No. Curtain grouting is below-grade waterproofing in the soil behind foundation walls. Curtain wall injection seals above-grade facade leaks.
Will injection stop leaks permanently?
When the leak path is correctly identified, injection is a long-term repair. We test and document repaired areas where practical.
