Cloudy glass may need more than cleaning.
During a recent home inspection, Tom documented moisture between the panes of a glass door. The report identified it as an indication of a failed thermal seal and recommended evaluation by a qualified glass service.
Where is the moisture?
The important detail is whether moisture is on an accessible surface or inside the glass assembly. When it is between the panes, cleaning the outside will not correct the condition. A qualified glass professional can evaluate the door and explain repair or replacement options.
What should buyers and agents ask?
Ask the homeowner whether the condition has been evaluated and whether repair records, warranty information, or prior service documentation are available. Ask the glass professional for the appropriate next step and an estimate.
An inspection finding should help you understand what was observed and what to do next. This article describes one visible finding; it is not a substitute for a complete home inspection or a glass professional’s evaluation.
