NavigationHi Guys,
Just wanted to say how pleased I was with the work that you did for my home inspection. From beginning to end the inspectors were professional, courteous and above all, informative. The inspection report was easy to read and the supplemental materials are great. I especially liked that I was able to have the termite inspection completed at the time of the initial inspection. Thanks again for a job well done. I won't hesitate to recommend you in the future to friends and family.

Water on the Interior of Skylights/Windows
Submitted by HankJaworowski on March 6, 2010 - 11:08am.
Water on the inside of any type of glass product exposed to the exterior, such as a window or skylight, is most likely due to interior condensation than exterior leakage. High humidity often occurs in a bathroom, especially when a shower is used. When outside temperatures chill the surface of the skylight or window, airborne moisture can condense into droplets. This is most likely to occur on single pane glass rather then the traditional double paned glass. If a seal around a window or skylight is not sealing correctly and allowing cold outside air to infiltrate to a warmer surface, either in the form of glass or metal, this will also cause water droplets to form. A practical solution would be increased ventilation and/or removal of excess humidity from the air. Bathrooms are required to have openable windows or exhaust fans, but sometimes both are needed to eliminate excessive humidity. This type of problem can also occur in other parts of the house annd a de-humidifier may be needed. Once you remove the moist air, condensation (water droplets) should cease to be a problem. ![]() |

"Thank you for taking the time to thoroughly inspect what hopes to be our first home. You left us feeling very reassured that every potential problem was addressed and your rating scale and detailed notes for examining potential issues helped us speak with the seller in an educated manner and allow this stage of the buying process to move forward smoothly." Jason and Jamie Kupperman "There are plenty of websites for inspectors. The fact that you send 2 inspectors prompted me to inquire further. After interviewing Hank, I was sold. My inspection was very thorough and gave me peace of mind. I showed the agents the report and they were impressed with the pictures and the detail. I would definitely recommend to anyone as their details provided me with the leverage to renegotiate a better purchase price." Thanks Frank |
