Damage to Parapet Walls

There are a number of different types of damage which can occur to your parapet walls, especially if they had been in place for a very long time. One of the most common types of damage which occurs is water leakage, and this will happen after some part of the wall has been compromised, and water has a chance to penetrate and degrade that section of the wall. In some cases, parapet walls also begin to lean in a specific direction, often because they been subjected to strong winds, or in some cases because original construction was faulty.
