How to Fix Window Air Leaks

When our technicians perform your air leak inspection in Peoria IL, they can identify spots where air leaks around your windows. Then, they can take steps to get rid of the air leaks by doing one of the following repairs:

• Reapplying Caulk – We can remedy some air leaks by simply applying a new layer of caulk around the window. First, we will scrape out the failing old caulk. Then, we will apply new caulk to edges of the window, taking care to smooth out and clean any excess.
• Reglaze Existing Single-Pane Windows – We can also reapply putty that holds the glass inside your existing single-pane windows in place. Initially, we will scrape and clean out any of the old, failing putty. Then, we will remove the glass and clean out the area where it will be replaced. Next, we will put the glass back on a layer of latex caulk. Finally, we place glazing points on the wood and cover the perimeter of the glass with a glazing compound.
• Install Replacement Windows – If we find problems during our air leak inspection in Peoria IL, the best way to fix them is to install replacement windows. Newer windows will come designed to provide better energy efficiency. That way, you can save money on your heating and cooling bills.

If you don’t notice a significant change in your home’s energy efficiency with those steps, you can contact us to have our technicians provide a repair such as reapplying caulk around the door.
