Rainy Days and Leaky Windows
There’s nothing like spending a rainy day inside your home. What’s why you need a Window Repair Services.
Imagine this: a hot cocoa or coffee in one hand, a book in another, perched up in the cozy little nook by your window, hearing the sounds of the pitter-patter of the rain against the glass. Only, you notice that your window’s leaking. Before you know it, you’re soaked in rainwater— and the water just won’t stop coming inside!
If you have any leaks or cracks in your windows, you need to fix them ASAP. Here are some preventative methods to help you avoid this scenario.
Weather Stripping
Weather stripping basically creates air-tight barriers on the sections of the window that can move. You can choose a variety of weather stripping options from plastic to vinyl, felt, tape, metal, and more. If you can’t decide which one to get, narrow down your options in terms of price, visibility, durability, and how easy it is to install.
Caulk Your Windows
A temporary solution, caulking your windows helps you adjust your window seal. Use a caulking gun that you may have lying around the house or borrow one from your friends or neighbors.
Go through your window carefully and check where the leak is coming from. Use a putty knife or a screwdriver to get rid of any old caulking or paint so that you can begin the process.
Ensure the area that you’re caulking is completely dry so that you don’t accidentally seal in moisture since moisture will make your windows lose. The caulking cartridge should be cut at a 45-degree angle and then insert it into the dispenser. Start pushing the trigger and use it to caulk each joint in the frame and between the window and the wall.
