Main Reasons For Colorado Business Owners To Check For Window Leaks

Window leaks are a serious problem. Offices and commercial building are put at risk when the window seal is not as tight as it can possibly be. JRB Service is here to help solve window leaks for business owners in Colorado when the leak is found. Here are some of the major reasons to check your windows for leaks on a regular basis.

What causes window leaks?

1. Natural erosion of window seals
   Over time, the rain, snow, wind and debris that hits a window can wear a seal down. Modern window sealants prevent natural erosion, but this is still an issue for many of the older buildings and windows in Colorado.
2. Physical window damage
   If a window is broken either accidentally, or on purpose, it may affect the seal around the window. Bugs such as termites may also try to burrow into window seals, leaving a leak in their wake.
3. Poor installation
   This is a very common cause of leaky windows. Make sure you only hire reliable window service professionals for new installations or replacements.

What are the risks of window leaks?

The three major problems with leaky windows include:

• Heating or AC will escape through the leak, causing a spike in energy costs
• Bug infestation risks go way up
• Property values are reduced

Leaks in the window can leave a fault in your establishment. It can allow outside insects to come into the building or air conditioning to escape.  This can hurt the overall property value.

What can I do about window leaks?
