9 month old 4 story condo building, 3rd floor unit.
Concrete floors with carpeting and hardwood on them.
FHA heat by gas, no humidifiers in use. No unusal interior sources of moisture.
Exterior temperature at time of inspection 46 F.
Client has lived there for several months and has complained to the builder about wetness around the windows. Client said he noticed the stain on the baseboard after a rain storm last week.
Lots of condensation found at the perimeter of the windows and water ponding found on the window sills. They don't drain very well. No visible weep holes and storm window sashes act as a dams.
Anyone familiar with these Universal Brand windows?
