Cooler temperatures are coming bringing less humid and cooler air. Extreme temperature changes, moisture, and humidity can alter your home’s windows and doors. Windows that leak is usually caused by the seal breaking down. Leaks will further damage your windows and doors while also having a negative impact on your energy bills.  If you are experiencing cool drafts in your home you most likely have damaged windows and doors caused by bad insulation.
