Leaking Windows
Maureen lives in Virginia Beach, VA. I
was just there about three weeks ago. Too bad I couldn't stop by.
She had a new vinyl window installed in her home and it's leaking worse than the RMS Titanic after it scraped against the iceberg.
The contractor has tried to repair it and nothing has worked. The big storm two weeks ago
brought all sorts of wind-driven rain.
She asked for my help. As you might imagine, it's hard to help being 660+ miles away.
In a nutshell, here's where I'd start:
- Look for obvious gaps between any part of the window or where the window touches up against the outside wall
covering
- Start low on the window and run gentle hose water on the sill to see if you can recreate the leak
- Continue to raise the hose water higher on the window until the leak shows up
Before you sign a contract for replacement windows, be sure you're getting the BEST
ONES.
The BEST WINDOWS are designed not to leak water.
They're made with the BEST materials and they're CERTIFIED by an independent organization.
If you have the best
windows, then a leak is happening someplace other than the window itself.
Great windows last longer, they let less air leak into and out of your home and they're a far better investment.
How do you know the windows you're getting are the best? You knew this was coming, didn't
you?

New Quiz!
The positive comments about my new quizzes are off the charts. Here's one of my favorite ones:
Barbara Paulson said, "Thanks, Tim ... I hope I'm not one of those dumb 72-year-old broads."
No, Barbara, you're one of the SMART and SASSY 72-year-old broads that's willing to DISCOVER new and helpful information that will save you time and sweet moola!
The quizzes are designed to make you laugh - out loud preferably! Do they make you laugh? If so, tell me.
At the top of each quiz I have a line about " ..testing the depths of your ignorance."
I feel it's VERY IMPORTANT for you to know why I say it that way. That line was seared into my brain back in 1972 by Dr. Ken Caster.
