Is your home feeling unusually humid or drafty during this cold snap? It might be time to inspect your windows….
Windows are another area that can allow water to enter the home unexpectedly, leading to mold growth and potentially causing damage to walls, floors, and even the home’s structural integrity.
To prevent water infiltration, it is essential to inspect the caulking surrounding windows at least once a year. Look for signs of wear, such as cracks, peeling, or gaps, which can compromise the seal’s effectiveness. Replacing caulking every 5-10 years, or sooner if damage is detected, ensures a watertight seal.
Additionally, ensure the window frames and sills are in good condition and free from rot or warping, as these issues can exacerbate water intrusion. Regular maintenance not only protects your home but also improves energy efficiency by reducing drafts and heat loss.
