Condensation
Between Your Panes?

Moisture trapped between double-pane or triple-pane windows means the insulating seal has failed. We replace the sealed glass unit -- restoring clarity, insulation, and energy efficiency -- without replacing the entire frame.

Diagnosis

Where Is the Condensation?

The location of the moisture determines the cause and the fix. Here is how to tell the difference.

Between the panes (inside the IGU)

The hermetic seal has failed. Moisture has entered the sealed cavity between the glass panes.

Fix: IGU replacement -- the glass unit must be replaced.

On the interior glass surface

High indoor humidity is condensing on the cold glass surface. The seal is fine.

Fix: Reduce indoor humidity with ventilation, dehumidifiers, or exhaust fans.

On the exterior glass surface

Normal phenomenon. Low-E glass is so efficient that the exterior stays cool enough for dew to form.

Fix: No fix needed -- this actually means your windows are working well.

Our Services

Window Condensation Solutions

Failed Seal Diagnosis

Free Assessment

We confirm whether your foggy window is caused by a broken seal (moisture between panes) or interior humidity (condensation on the surface). The fix is completely different for each.

IGU Replacement

Most Common Fix

We remove the failed double-pane or triple-pane glass unit and replace it with a new factory-sealed IGU -- matching the original glass type, thickness, and gas fill. Your existing frame stays.

Low-E Glass Upgrades

When replacing a failed IGU, you can upgrade to Low-E coated glass for superior UV protection and energy efficiency. A smart investment that pays for itself in lower heating and cooling bills.

Argon Gas Fill

New IGUs are filled with argon gas between the panes for enhanced insulation. Argon is denser than air and significantly reduces heat transfer through the glass.

Multi-Window Projects

Volume Pricing

Multiple fogged windows in the same home? We provide volume quotes for whole-house IGU replacement. Replace them all at once or prioritize the worst windows first.

Energy Audit Support

Failed IGUs drain your heating and cooling budget. We identify which windows have the worst seal failures so you can prioritize the replacements that save the most energy.

FAQ

Window Condensation Questions

How do I know if the condensation is between the panes or on the surface?
Wipe the inside of the glass with a dry cloth. If the fog goes away, it is surface condensation (humidity issue). If the fog remains after wiping, it is trapped between the panes (seal failure). You can also run your finger along the glass -- if you feel moisture, it is surface condensation.
Can a failed window seal be repaired without replacing the glass?
No. Once the hermetic seal fails and moisture enters the IGU cavity, the only permanent fix is replacing the insulated glass unit. Some companies offer "defogging" services that drill holes -- this temporarily clears the fog but permanently destroys the window's insulation value. We do not recommend it.
Will replacing the IGU fix my energy efficiency problem?
Yes, significantly. A failed IGU has lost its insulating gas fill and the Low-E coating is compromised by internal moisture. A new IGU restores the original thermal performance -- typically reducing heat transfer by 40-60% compared to the failed unit.
Do I need to replace the entire window or just the glass?
In most cases, just the glass (IGU). The frame, sash, and hardware can remain. This saves 40-60% compared to full window replacement. We only recommend full window replacement when the frame is rotted, warped, or structurally compromised.
How many windows in my home will eventually need IGU replacement?
If one window has failed, others of the same age and brand are likely approaching failure. During our assessment, we check all your windows and identify which ones are showing early signs of seal deterioration -- so you can plan replacements strategically.
Is window condensation covered by homeowner insurance?
Generally no. Seal failure is classified as normal wear and deterioration, which is excluded from standard policies. However, if a specific event (storm impact, break-in) caused the seal to fail, there may be a claim. We can help document for insurance purposes.
