evan9381 Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 pretty much every window in my house (7 or 8) have condensation inside of them. the home inspector before i bought the house said (IIRC) something about the seal being broken, but i should be able to get the insides cleared/cleaned out, and resealed. anyone know someone who does this, or what kind of company can do this? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 I am interested in this window subject too, as I have one inner window at our new place that is broken and needs replaced. A bit of rust developed around the seal as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mensan Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Look between the two panes of glass and you will see holes in the extruded aluminum housing. Those holes allow the desiccant contained in the frame to dry the air between the panes. Once the seal breaks, the desiccant no longer works and the window needs replaced.

evan9381 Posted June 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 house was built in 1985, so its the same age as me. the windows are probably the originals. if its something i have to replace all windows, im going to wait. if it was something not majorly expensive, i wanted to get it fixed so i dont see fog on the windows all the time. ugh.

Snowflake Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 I have been buying replacement windows at Lowes. They are Pella and really are not to bad. They are cheap and really not hard to install at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
