Window Condensation occurs whenever the window surface is cool enough to allow moisture in the air to condense on it. That’s why there is some in the winter, especially on older windows that are not insulated, though it could happen in the summer as well.

A glass of ice water sweats because the warm air that surrounds the glass meets the cold surface causing condensation. A window sweats most often when the warm air in your home meets the cold surface of your window in the winter.

It’s important to control condensation since it can damage the window’s components, including causing wood rot, and damage your wall insulation. If it saturates the wall insulation, the insulation effectiveness is reduced.  We don’t recommend wood replacement windows in Atlanta because of the harsh changing weather conditions that can lead to wood rot.

Do you need new windows? Good windows should not have excessive condensation at normal humidity levels (30 percent to 40 percent). TIP: Check to make sure the little breathing holes in your storm windows are not clogged. It’s a simple and easy project you can benefit from.

If your home is fairly new, we’d hope the problem is not your windows, but something else. If you have an older home, an inspection is the best way to see what your problems are and what your options are.

March 2008- This past weekend was one of the most interesting weather weekends the Metro Atlanta area has ever experienced. Friday evening about 10:00 a tornado touched down in downtown Atlanta. Extensive damage was done to the Georgia Dome, the Georgia World Congress Center and various additional buildings throughout the area. Airborne debris and high winds broke windows and lifted the roofs off of several structures. The SEC Basketball Tournament was suspended Friday Night and then relocated to Alexander Memorial Coliseum on the Georgia Tech Campus when it resumed on Saturday.

Starting afternoon severe storms rolled through North Central Georgia. The news broadcasts have shown extensive destruction. What cannot be seen is the damage that hail can cause to a roof. If your home was in one of the area that received hail, you may have damage, some of it hidden.

Schantz Home Improvement deployed a special roofing repair inspection team with specific insurance experience. Whether you need roofing repairs to return to the original condition, or a completely new roof of newer quality, we’ll help you make the decision based on budget, value, insurance recovery and other factors so you can make an informed decision.
