I got a call from a landlord that is having a mold problem in one of her rentals. The problem has her in L&T court.
After cleaning the mold, it reoccurs. She has informed me that the windows are sweating quite a bit, which by the way, are the problem areas.
I asked her if she home had single pane or insulated glass windows, she was unable to answer the question.
At this point, I have no clue about the construction of the building or what I will be facing until I look at it tomorrow. I have been considering different possibilities, they include: non insulated glazing,lack of storm windows, faulty frames, metal frames, metal frames w/o thermal break, windows blocked from ventilating, improper venting of a gas appliance, leaking steam pipe, improper moisture barrier.
She did tell me that the heating system was recently serviced, but until I see it with my own eyes, I consider that hearsay.
Does anybody have any input?
I will post pictures tomorrow.
