Garage condensation concentrated on an uninsulated metal door
Moisture formed on the coldest metal surface during rapid warming, while walls and roof remained dry.
✓Measurement Supportedrecorded confirmation level
01 / OBSERVED
→Water droplets on the inside of a garage door
02 / CONFIRMED CAUSE
→Surface condensation on cold metal
03 / REPAIR
→Moisture sources were reduced, ventilation improved and the door insulated.
04 / VERIFY
Surface temperatures rose and condensation frequency dropped sharply.

Supporting clues
- Only on metal
- Rapid thaw periods
- No roof moisture path
Checks performed
- Surface/dew-point comparison
- Humidity log
- Visual pattern map
Field lessonMaterial and surface temperature can explain a pattern without a leak.
