Leaks and Drafts
If you feel a bit of a breeze whenever you walk past a door or window, then you may have a draft. You can do a few things to determine if this is the case. First, look at the exterior caulking around your windows and doors to determine if there are any gaps. You can also gently push the windows or the glass portion of your doors to see if there’s movement — if they rattle, then you’ll need to rectify the problem. As well, if you can see outdoor light seeping in around the window frames or door frames, then you can be certain that you have leaks.
