Fogging inside double paned windows

Is there a way (or a service) that can remove moisture inside of a double pane window without having to replace it?

Once the seal is broken I think it's pretty much replace at that point.
At least I've never heard of a way to repair it.

There is a company on the north shore that removes the fog and vacuums the window tight but they are expensive it's half the price of a new window.
We did not use them we just put in new windows

no, the window has to be replaced
what happened is the seal is broken and let moisture inside the window and thats not fixible.
a common issue most people arent aware of is wasp spray works like carb cleaner and completely eats the seals away to nothing if you spray the window with wasp spray.
i bet at some point, someone in your house went crazy with it and the wasp spray got into the window seals

I've owned 5 houses in my career as an adult and every last one of them had at least one fogged window.

well sure, the seals fail, that can just randomly happen
all i am saying is, if a person in your house, sprays wasp spray on the window, enough to drip down on the seal, then 100% it will turn white within 6-8 months

We paid more money than we should've to replace a pane in a standard double paned window. Might be easier just replacing.

If its a basic window, you can order a new pane yourself from a good hardware store or glass shoppe. Just vinyl strips and a bit of gasket glue holding it in place. It can be a pita though.

Depending on who manufactured your window they may be under warranty. We installed ply-gem windows when we built 9 years ago. They have a lifetime warranty. Two windows fogged up. I filed a warranty claim with them and they sent me replacement windows. I hired someone to install them.

The seals can definitely be fixed for about $200 per window and that will fix the fogging issue. Had all of mine re-done for a fraction of the cost to repair. If you’re on the Northshore, call Window Solutions by Richlyn. They do great work. Was very pleased.

I feel your pain. Those seals can’t handle pressure washing and not sure what wind they are rated for. Our few don’t stay dogged 365 days but seem to ALWAYS are fogged when have company. If your metro code says the windows have to be rated for certain wind and builder didn’t use them maybe you have some recourse if it’s new construction and you didn’t pressure wash.
