Window repairs are often overlooked in the spring and summer months, but neglecting to repair or replace a faulty window could be costly this upcoming summer season. After all, with hot weather comes hotter temperatures that can lead to leaking windows and other problems. If you notice any signs of water damage or a faulty window, now is the time to act! Read on for three indications that could mean it’s time for new windows:
1. Water Damage
If you notice any puddles on the floor near your window after it rains, there might be an issue with your window that is causing leaks. This is because there might be an issue with the window sealant, which needs to be replaced. This can lead to water damage and even mold build-up. Another reason for water to get into your home through your windows is if they have not been updated in a long time.
After years of hot and cold weather, protecting you from rain and wind, as well as offering natural light, it makes sense that they can start to become weaker over time. Cracks and breaks are possible, along with issues with your screens. Water loves to get into spots that you sometimes might not even notice.
2. Loose Seals
As stated before, many people are not aware that their window sealant may require replacement. If you notice any obvious spikes in your energy bills, it is possible that the bond on your windows is loose and needs to be replaced.
3. Drafts
Notice an obvious difference in temperature near certain windows throughout your home? Sometimes it’s not as easy to notice a loose seal in your windows, but homeowners will certainly be able to detect drafts. Besides a change in energy bills, you’ll also feel your cool air escaping during a warm day, no matter how high you put your AC, and vice versa for cold days and your heating.
