Windows, doors and slide seals
Gaskets and seals wear out and shrink. A small gap lets in a lot of water over time.
The short version
- Check window frames for cracked sealant along the top edge and blocked weep holes at the bottom.
- Close the door on a strip of paper. If it pulls out easily, the seal isn't touching.
- Slide room seals should touch all the way around with the room in and out. Look for flattened, torn or rolled seals.
- Treat rubber seals with a conditioner made for them. Dried seals crack.
