Before hurricane season
Retrieve every opening set, confirm labels and hardware, clean channels and thresholds, and inspect gaskets for tears, flattening, or hardening before forecast pressure begins.
- Practice the documented deployment sequence
- Check that panels seat and compress evenly
- Resolve missing or damaged parts before an event
After deployment or water contact
Rinse dirt or salt residue when practical, allow components to dry, inspect seals and finishes, and return each labeled set to its planned storage location.
- Do not store wet components against finishes
- Photograph damage or recurring dampness
- Request service for torn seals, loose hardware, or failed caulk
Fixed mounts and building envelope
Inspect anchors, side channels, and exterior sealant. Cracked or separated caulk can become an envelope path even when the aluminum and gaskets remain serviceable.
- Do not conceal movement with improvised over-caulking
- Check substrate cracks and threshold joints
- Use the seals and water-testing guides for diagnosis
Warranty boundary
Coverage is governed by the written proposal and warranty for the installed product and workmanship scope. It is not a promise against overtopping, bypass through other openings, drains, walls or slabs, misuse, neglected wear items, or every flood condition.
- Keep proposal and install records
- Document maintenance and service
- Ask Rubicon about the specific installed-system terms
