Issues documented include exterior mold growth that impairs visibility, active water leakage between window panes, and serious structural damage caused by water infiltrating wall framing — in one case requiring a full wall replacement costing $100,000. These problems are reported across the geographic area where Port Packages have been installed and are not attributed to homeowner misuse.Open full document
