As an Atlanta home inspector I like to present different money saving tips to help the home owners out there. One of the less expensive things that you can do yourself is repair around the window sills and doorways. What would need to do is check around each and every window and doorway to see if the existing caulk has started to pull away. Where the caucus started to pull away, you’ll need to remove it completely. Be sure to clean the area where the new caulk will be applied thoroughly. Once the area has dried completely re-cauk with a weather proof caulk.
One other handy tip to keep your window seals from rotting out is to remove your window screens and store them in a storage area if possible, if you’re not opening your windows. By leaving the screens on year-round, and not taking them off you allowmoisture to settle on the window sill in and around the screens, which will cause wood rotting.
