Sheffer says to contact Amtrol, West Warwick, Rhode Island 02893. He says that his was purchased at York Corrugating Plumbing Supply in Shrewsbury, Pa. Their phone number is 717-235-4733. ANSWER C. Robert Holmes, Sr., writes about one reader's problem with windows that have excess moisture. He says that as a contractor and remodeler he never saw this problem until last year when one of his customers complained about the problem after he installed vinyl replacement windows in her home, which was built in 1956. Holmes has had a represen tative from the window company and one from the lumber company where he purchased them. They have tried various ways to correct the problem by using a better grade of caulking, then a vented soffit and recently a vent in the ridge of her roof. The condensation runs down the windows, and even her walls are now mildewing in some places. Apparently this customer has the problem through out the year only worse in winter. She heats her house with forced hot air. Holmes has also contacted a Penn State Exten sion agent, who is also puzzled. Holmes has questions for the woman who asks the question In You Ask, You Answer and requests that she contact him; C. Robert Holmes, Jr., 291 Mitchell Road, Airville, Pa. 17302, or by calling him and leav ing a message if necessary at 717-382-4169. Another reader responded about the problem of condensation. Her home, too, had this problem. She says the likely cause is either the house is too airtight and/or woodburhing stove is drawing moisture out of wood stored in the basement. This moisture goes into the air, and due to airtightness in the house, it has nowhere to go. She also says the moisture problem in her house was on the second floor ceilings and first and second floor windows, where moisture met the coldest air. For a solution, she says to vent the house. At her house they drilled small holes in the frames of wooden storm windows. They also learned that if storm windows were not put on the second floor win dows, the moisture is able to vent there too. She adds that airtight homes and woodburning stoves don’t work well together. The stove needs air circulation to burn efficiently. However, with some adaptions, you can solve the moisture problem. Ven ting the moisture may cause you to have to burn more wood.
