Moisture build-up in our windows has the effect of giving them a foggy outlook. At this point, the next best thing to do apart from replacement is defogging them. It is quite a process and requires knowledge of the step by step operation to succeed.

Steps

  1. Gather all the requirements as listed in "Things You'll Need" section.
  2. Insert the drill bit into the drill and makes sure it's tightly secured.
  3. Put your safety gear on. This is protect you from the drilling noise that is associated with closed areas, the pieces of fine glass flying around and hurting your hands due to any accident.
  4. Pick a spot where you will drill on the window preferably ¾ of an inch away from the frame corner.
  5. Proceed to drill a hole, making sure to be precise and slow. It is important not to apply excessive pressure to avoid splintering the window and hurting yourself in the process. Stop as soon as your drill-bit goes through the first pane and withdraw completely.
  6. Connect power to your vacuum machine.Place the suction hose on the drilled hole.Switch the power on and give it several minutes to take care of the moisture. After you notice the complete dissipation of moisture, keep vacuuming a little more to take care of the invisible element.
  7. Insert a One way valve in the drilled hole. This effectively seals the hole, allowing breathing in a ‘controlled seal failure’ state. The valve allows for the outflow of air and moisture and is way out of view so as to cause no obstruction to your view.
