What is humidity and condensation?
It is common knowledge that too much humidity can cause extensive and expensive damage through a home. It would help, of course, if we could see (and thus get a warning from) this harmful humidity build-up as it is occurring in the air. But there are few warning signs. Humidity is as invisible as the air that carries it. Fortunately, there is one reliable visible warning sign. We see it when the build-up of water vapor condenses to form fog or frost on the glass panes of our windows. Your windows do not cause this condensation but excessive humidity in your home does. This section is posted to help you understand and come to grips with the problems that excessive home humidity can cause and ways to remedy this situation.
