How does one prevent condensation from forming around pipes?
Condensation forms when warm, moist air meets cold air. Exposed pipes in the basement often “sweat” during summer months because the water running through the pipes is colder than the air surrounding them. Pipes can be insulated to shield them from the warm air using a neoprene insulation fabricated according to the pipe diameter. This is a simple project that can be done by a handyman or a plumber.
