Paul Battle of: http://thehousedoc.ca/ He doesn't do structural, etc. ALL he does is healthy home related testing - mould, radon, electrro magnetic field. When we bought our studio in the city (it was GROSS when we took possession) we hired a traditional building inspector AND Paul Battle - traditional inspectors know some. Paul specializes only in mold, etc with resources to fix. He checked our home too! Well recommended!

Steve mcdonald - chelsea home inspections 819-827-0898. Condensation is not necessarily caused by faulty windows. Improper ventilation in the house, not enough insulation could also be causes.

Stephen McDonald for sure 819-827-0898. He's your man.
Frank L. replied:
Glynis, it's ironic isn't it? Better windows and you still see condensation! But if you think about it: you have sealed your house better and none of that moisture can disappear through leaky seals anymore. The answer is likely a better ventilation system. I would recommend a heat recovery ventilator. It provides fresh air but leaves the heat in the building. We also have electric heat and the HRV doesn't need a forced air heating. I can show you ours if you want. Just drop by on your next walk. I can recommend Paul Battle, too.
