Is It Time to Update Your Windows? How Rainy Weather, Termites & Rotting Wood Are Warning Signs

Indiana weather can be unpredictable — and all that rainy, damp weather could be telling you something about your home’s health. If your windows are old, leaking, or showing signs of damage, now is the time to take action before small issues turn into big headaches.

Rainy Weather & Rotting Wood: Why It Matters

Heavy rains and moisture don’t just affect your yard — they can quietly destroy your home’s window frames. If your windows are outdated or improperly sealed, water can seep into the wood and cause it to rot. Over time, this can weaken the structure around your windows and even affect the safety of your home.

Rotten wood isn’t just ugly — it’s a red flag.

Termites Thrive on Rot

Rotting wood is a buffet for termites. Once they find soft, damp wood around your windows, it’s only a matter of time before they start causing real damage. Termites can silently destroy wood structures, putting your entire home at risk.

Protecting your windows protects your home.

Old Windows Cost You More Than You Think

Old, damaged windows don’t just invite termites and rot — they’re also costing you money. Inefficient windows let drafts in, making your heating and cooling systems work harder. If your energy bills are rising, your old windows may be part of the problem.

Plus, older windows can be difficult to open, unsafe, and may not meet current egress window code requirements.

Egress Windows: A Safety & Code Requirement

If you have a basement bedroom or are thinking about finishing your basement, you need to consider egress windows. Indiana building codes require egress windows for emergency escape and rescue purposes in basement sleeping rooms.
