Most consumers will try to solve the problems of relevant doors and windows first. It should be noted that the inspection parts of different doors and windows are also different. For example, if it is a sliding window, it depends on whether the wool strip is rolled up, depilated, etc.; if it is a casement window, it depends on whether the rubber strip is aging, falling off or rolled up, whether the joint of the rubber strip is disconnected, whether the wall is aging, cracking, etc. The parts such as wool strip and rubber strip can be replaced, and the wall problems need to be solved by a professional master. If the leakage point is the gluing part, it's OK to mend or re glue, but if there is a problem with the drainage system of the door and window, it's necessary to replace the door and window with a new one. It is understood that the production cycle of doors and windows is about 30-40 days, while it usually takes 3-4 days to dismantle the old window + install the new window, during which you can live normally.
