What to Do About Window Condensation
You are at home enjoying a nice day, you look out the window, and then you see it, condensation in between your window panes. While it is good that the moisture is not getting all the way inside your home, condensation means that moisture is making its way past the moisture seal which is not ideal. So, what do you do?
While moisture buildup in windows is not a major issue, it is an issue that should get fixed. And fortunately, it is a relatively quick and easy fix for an experienced and knowledgeable residential glass professional. If the moisture is ignored and unaddressed, it could lead to mold and mildew growth so it is better to get it repaired sooner rather than later.
In all likelihood, what you have is a faulty seal which can be fixed by having your windows professionally weatherized to ensure a tight seal. As an added bonus, by weatherizing your windows your home will be far more energy-efficient and your home’s temperature more stable and comfortable. If you have newer windows but still notice this problem, you may have a bigger issue such as a crack or damage, necessitating residential window repair or replacement. An experienced professional can assess what is wrong with your window to determine the root cause and make the appropriate fix. Don’t put a bandaid on something as important as your home’s energy efficiency and safety – when you see moisture and condensation gathering in your windows, contact a residential window specialist to have it assessed as soon as possible.
