The expression goes “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” It’s a dangerous mind-set to have when you’re talking about windows. Sure, no one likes to spend more than they should. But sometimes replacement windows in Connecticut are the best investment to make. This is especially true when water damage is occurring. The key, though, is to realize that the damage itself might not be the problem, but a symptom of something bigger happening.
A Symptom
Rotted window frames need replacing, and there’s no going around it. Replacing the windows also usually allows for a more secure fit—rounding out the investment. What many people aren’t aware of, however, is that the rot is likely just opening your eyes to the fact that there’s a leak somewhere. Rarely is it ever going to be the source of the leak itself.
This means that if you don’t deal with the leak, you spent money on a replacement that will itself rot anyway—prompting a never-ending (and highly costly) cycle of replacements. The challenge here is that you’ll probably have a difficult time tracing the source of the leak. It could be any number of things, from damage to your roofing to a gutter that is failing.
