Just because a window isn’t broken doesn’t mean it doesn’t need replacing. There are many reasons why a window can fail and unfortunately many home owners don’t even know when they have failed. This blog post looks at some of the reasons why a window may have failed and what you can do about it.

Most newer windows have pressurized gas that is between two panes of glass in the window. This is done to increase energy efficiency of the window. It helps keep the convection of the glass at a minimum as well. Sometimes this pressurized gas can leak out of the area between the two glasses. This is called having a blown sash.
When a sash is blown there is usually some tell tale signs. One of those signs is condensation buildup between the glasses. There is no way to get this condensation out and if your window is blown like this then you won’t be seeing clearly out of it. The window will also lose it’s energy rating as well since it’s not going to be as energy efficient. Sometimes if only one sash in the window is blown you can replace that sash with a window repair service we offer here at Plymouth Home Pros. If both sashes are blown then a completely new window may be needed.
Leaking, Drafty, or Older Windows
Another way you can tell if your windows are not performing like they should is by checking the area around the window. If there are leaks where moisture has entered the home then you’ll likely need the window replaced or repaired. You can also check for drafts of air coming in around the window sashes and frame. Older style windows may be worn down and let air pass through cracks in the window.
