Windows in Penticton and other parts of B.C. often endure harsh conditions during the fall and winter , causing them to show signs of wear and tear come spring.
If you notice visible wrinkling, bubbling, or signs of mould around your window and door frames or where they meet the wall, moisture could be penetrating the exterior of your home and causing damage.
Since spring is often a homeowner’s first opportunity to conduct a thorough assessment of any repairs or maintenance needed before the next winter, the experts at Ecoline Windows suggest keeping an eye out during your spring cleaning for any of these telltale signs, including leaks, mould and decay around your windows and doors.
