Window Sill Leakage Treatment | Professional Waterproof Restoration

Window sill leakage is a common water seepage problem in Hong Kong homes, severely affecting living comfort.

The window sill is an important structural platform beneath the window. Due to prolonged exposure to wind and rain, concrete cracks, or sealant failure at joints, rainwater easily accumulates and penetrates indoors, leading to wall mould, concrete spalling, and property damage. EJW provides professional window sill waterproof restoration services. Through detailed site inspection, we tackle the root structural issues, including crack repair, waterproof mortar application, and the use of Sika high-performance waterproofing materials. We are committed to completely resolving structural problems, delivering long-lasting dry and comfortable protection for our clients.

3 Common Causes of Aluminium Window Leaks

Note: Actual conditions can only be confirmed after on-site inspection by registered personnel.

1. Faulty or Aged Hinge Installation

Incorrect hinge positioning or aging causing hinges to sag and shift, preventing the window from closing tightly and creating gaps that allow water ingress. This is the most common cause.

2. Sealant edge damaged and detached.

Black waterproof sealant on aluminium window frames and sashes loses sealing when aged, damaged or detached, causing rainwater leakage. Sun, rain and temperature exposure accelerates deterioration, weakening overall waterproofing. Routine maintenance is essential.

3. Window Deformation or Wall Cracks

Deformation of the aluminum window frame itself, or cracks in the adjacent wall structure, allowing water to penetrate through gaps or structural breaches.

EJW Professional Repair Process: Four Steps to Completely Eliminate Leaks

EJW has established a systematic inspection process to accurately identify the root causes of leaks.

1. Preliminary On-Site Assessment

Inspect window hinges for aging or sagging, check waterproof sealant edges for gaps, and test window sealing performance to pinpoint leakage locations.

2. Frame Structure Inspection

Conduct a comprehensive examination of the aluminium window frame to ensure it is level, ruling out deformation, distortion, or structural fatigue.

3. Joint and Wall Inspection

Focus on the connection between the aluminium window and concrete wall, checking for cracks, seepage signs, or structural loosening.

4. Solution Proposal and Quotation

Integrate on-site inspection data with professional analysis to formulate the most suitable repair solution and provide detailed quotation discussion with the client.

Professional Waterproofing with Sika RainTite

Sika RainTite is a high-performance, UV-resistant liquid waterproof membrane designed for long-term outdoor protection. Featuring excellent elasticity, it effectively bridges hairline cracks to create a seamless, durable barrier against water ingress.

When applied with reinforcement fabric, it significantly enhances structural integrity at joints. Sika RainTite is the ideal, professional-grade solution for lasting building maintenance and moisture control.

Not necessarily. Leakage causes are often complex. Apart from aged sealant, issues such as inaccurate hinge installation, sagging hinges, or damaged operating handles can all affect sealing performance. EJW conducts a thorough inspection to identify the real root cause rather than blindly replacing the sealant.

Due to the hidden nature of many leakage problems, it is difficult to make an accurate assessment from photos alone. To ensure pricing transparency and solution accuracy, we insist on on-site inspection before providing the final quotation. This avoids any unexpected additional costs caused by misjudgement.

In most cases, full window replacement is not required. Through professional hinge adjustment, sealant strip repair, and re-sealing of structural joints, the majority of seepage issues can be effectively resolved. We only recommend full replacement when the window frame has severe deformation or structural damage.

In strong wind and high-salt environments, materials age faster. For such units, we use higher-grade weatherproof materials and special construction techniques to ensure the waterproof barrier remains solid under extreme weather conditions.

We use high-performance Sika materials combined with professional workmanship. Most repair works provide long-lasting waterproof performance. We will tailor a suitable long-term warranty according to the actual site conditions.
