Why Checking Exterior Seals Should Be Part of Your Home Maintenance
Every spring and summer, homeowners across the Grande Prairie region get ready for the changing seasons by cleaning, organizing, and planning outdoor projects. But one important task that often gets missed is checking the seals around the outside of your home.
Exterior seals include caulking and weatherproof barriers around windows, doors, vents, and utility openings. These materials wear down over time, especially after cold winters and dry summers. When seals start to crack or peel, they leave your home open to water leaks, drafts, pests, and even higher energy bills.
This blog will explain what exterior seals are, why they matter, how to check them, and what you can do to help protect your home year after year.
