Spring water damage often gets blamed on cracks, failed mortar joints, or deteriorated sealants. In many cases, the real issue starts earlier, at expansion joints that were never designed, detailed, or maintained to manage seasonal movement.  For commercial and multi-family buildings in Chicago, expansion joints are a primary defense against moisture intrusion during spring thaw. When they fail, water finds its way behind masonry, into wall assemblies, and down to steel and concrete elements that were never meant to stay wet.
