Richmond sits at sea level on the delta, and that shows up in the glass. High humidity outside and warm air inside puts a steady load on every sealed unit in the house.
CALL 778-317-6476Ground moisture is a constant here. The water table is close to the surface across most of the island, so the air around a house stays damp for long stretches of the winter. A seal that is already tired gives up faster in that environment than the same unit would on higher, drier ground.
Steveston and the western edge add salt to it. Air coming off the Strait carries enough to accelerate corrosion on aluminum spacers and older frame hardware, which is why waterfront-facing glass in Richmond often fails first.
A foggy pane almost never means the whole window has to go. In most cases the frame is sound and only the sealed glass unit needs replacing — measured on site, built to fit, and installed in your existing opening.
