Incorrect Window Installation Can Damage Your Home

Leaking window caused water damage and mold growth

One of the most common issues associated with improperly installed windows is water leakage. Poorly fitted windows or improperly sealed frames can allow rainwater to seep into the structure. Once water enters your walls, floors, or ceilings, it creates the perfect environment for mold and mildew to thrive, potentially posing health risks to occupants. Continuous exposure to moisture can lead to wood rot, compromising the integrity of your home. Poorly installed windows can allow water to infiltrate the foundation of your home, leading to cracks and other damage that could compromise the entire structure. Avoid these risks by hiring professionals, choosing the right materials, and conducting regular inspections to ensure your windows perform at their best for years to come.
