Find where air leaks in around windows and fix it with seals, caulk, foam and adjustments.
A drafty window makes a room feel colder in winter and warmer in summer, and it makes heating and cooling work harder. Air sneaks in through worn weatherstripping, gaps around the frame, cracked caulk, loose sashes and failed seals. The fix may be as simple as new seals, or it may need work around the frame. Homeowners in Nashville call us when they feel a draft near a window and want to know the cause.
We look for the leaks with a careful inspection of the sash, the frame and the trim. We check the seals, the lock tension, the caulk and the gap between the frame and the wall. We then fix what we find: replacing weatherstripping, adjusting the sash, adding caulk or foam and sealing the trim. We tell you honestly if the window is too worn to seal well, and what a replacement would add.
Air can come through the sash, the frame, the trim or the wall behind it, and we trace the leak instead of guessing.
Worn weatherstripping and loose locks are the most common leaks, and both are quick to fix.
Gaps between the frame and the wall need foam and caulk, which stops air without blocking the window from moving.
Some windows cannot be sealed well, and we say so and explain how new windows would help.
