What Your Windows Are Trying to Tell You About Window Moisture

Moisture on windows might be a sign of more serious issues. This moisture can eventually cause the window frames and trim to deteriorate and cause mold and mildew to grow. But to be certain, look for leaks near your windows. Naturally, this would only happen while it was raining. Condensation on the inside of your glass could then be caused by the moisture from that leak. Although a leak is frequently not the problem, it is an excellent place to start.

Your windows are probably trying to alert you that the humidity in the house is too high. The prevalence of this issue is greater with older, single-pane windows. Condensation, which happens when moisture in the air comes into contact with a cold surface (like your window), is what causes it. It works similarly to how a cool glass of water sweats on a hot day.

There are a few approaches to this issue. If your windows are ancient single-pane models, replacing windows can be a wise choice. In addition to the energy savings and convenience you'll experience, energy-efficient, dual-pane replacement windows can build an insulated buffer that will significantly minimize or eliminate condensation. Another option is to put storm windows over single-pane windows.
