Does Your Sunroom Need Repair?

Does Your Sunroom Need Repair - Screwdriver in window frame

A beautiful addition to a home, sunrooms provide a way to enjoy the outdoors no matter the weather, however, after some time, your sunroom may require repair. 

Even the most well-constructed sunroom can develop issues with the siding, glass, or other components.  Whether it is normal wear and tear or weather damage, many things can contribute to your sunroom’s deterioration. 

Interior Leaks

Interior leaking is one of the main signs that there are issues that need to be addressed in your sunroom. Causes of sunroom leaks can include:

  • A defective or damaged roof: If your home’s roof is improperly maintained, it can cause your sunroom to leak.
  • Improper installation: If the sunroom was not properly constructed, gaps can occur that allow water to get in.
  • Subpar materials: A sunroom built with cheaper materials tends to have issues with leaking.  

Some smaller leaks can be remedied by the homeowner, particularly if the leak is stemming from a window frame. There are times when dirt or debris accumulates in the weep holes of the frame, causing water to build up and cause leaks. Clear away any debris and see if that remedies the issue. If not, consult a professional who can troubleshoot and provide solutions.

Top Maintenance Tips

The best way to prevent major damage to your sunroom is regular maintenance.  DIY care and cleaning can help keep your sunroom in good shape for the long term. 

  • Keep the exterior clean and free of debris
  • Wipe interior and exterior caulk with denatured alcohol
  • To clean walls, use gentle cleaning agents to avoid damaging surfaces
  • Remove overgrown trees and shrubbery to avoid damage to windows and accumulation of dead leaves
  • Lubricate window locks and door hinges
  • Replace damaged weather seals
  • Observe your sunroom for signs of mold
  • Clean window screens with a gentle brush and allow them to fully dry before putting them back in place
