COMMON WINDOW PROBLEMS AND HOW TO SPOT THEM EARLY
Windows play a big role in your home’s comfort and energy efficiency. But over time, they can develop issues that are easy to overlook—until they become costly. Here are some common window problems and how to catch them early.
- Drafts or Air Leaks
Signs: A breeze near the window, high energy bills, moving curtains.
Fix: Caulking or weather stripping may help; serious leaks may need repairs or replacement.
- Condensation Between Panes
Signs: Fog or moisture trapped inside double-glazed windows.
Fix: This usually means a broken seal. The glass unit may need replacing.
- Sticking or Hard-to-Open Windows
Signs: Windows that jam, squeak, or won’t stay open.
Fix: Clean and lubricate tracks; if it persists, get a professional inspection.
- Cracked or Broken Glass
Signs: Visible cracks or spiderweb fractures.
Fix: Cracked glass compromises safety and should be replaced promptly.
- Rotting or Damaged Frames
Signs: Flaking paint, soft wood, or moldy smell.
Fix: Early rot may be treated, but severe damage likely needs a new frame.
- Too Much Outside Noise
Signs: Street noise getting louder.
Fix: May indicate poor sealing or thin glass—soundproof windows could help.
