Are you concerned that the new windows in your home aren’t properly installed? There are many signs that indicate poor window installation. When a window isn’t properly installed, it can lead to water damage from a leak, pest infiltration, injury if the window falls out, and energy loss.
Water Infiltration or Damage
The most visual sign of poor window installation is a visible water leak. If you notice water on the window sill or brown staining around your window, there’s a high chance that your window wasn’t properly installed. Keep in mind, it could also be poor caulk around the window which the installer should also address. However, there’s also a chance that the window wasn’t properly fitted for the window opening. If you see water in your home, call your window installer and ask them to come back and fix the problem immediately.
New Windows That are Hard to Open or Close
You expect your new windows to open and stay open and close and lock. If it’s difficult to open your windows, chances are that they’re not square in the window opening or they window isn’t the right size for the opening. Don’t let your window company off the hook, call them and have them address the window installation problem to your satisfaction.
You Feel Drafts Around Your Windows
