What it is: Fogged or moisture-stained insulated glass from a broken thermal seal.
Why it matters
Seal failure reduces efficiency and cannot be cleaned away.
Why it's common in Bloomington
Widespread in Bloomington homes with 1980s–2000s original double-pane windows.
Signs to watch for
- permanent fog between panes
- mineral haze
- condensation that won't wipe off
