More and more, we’re starting to see the same problem during home inspections.
In 2002, the state of Texas started requiring double-pane windows to be installed on all homes moving forward. These windows have a life expectancy of about 20-30 years, depending on the type. Since builders use different manufacturers and different types of materials for their double-pane windows, they are not all created equal.
As a result, we’re seeing a 15% failure rate on some of the earliest windows, typically installed sometime between 2002 and 2005. The cause of these failures is our extreme weather. When you have 100-degree summers, the seals in the windows expand and contract; over time, they lose their elasticity and you get moisture in the window. A sign of a failed window is cloudiness on the inside of your windows, so if you’re seeing that on some of your windows, you may want to get them checked out.
If you think your double-pane windows might be failing, it’s best to get them checked out and fixed before you list your home. You don’t want to lose a buyer over an issue like this, and even if the buyer sticks around while you get them repaired, it will really slow down the process. If you have any questions or concerns about this topic, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We would love to give you a hand!
