What steps can I take to reduce excessive humidity in my present home and control window condensation?
1. Recognize that the best way to stop condensation is to reduce the moisture in the inside air. 2. Be sure that attic or crawl spaces are properly ventilated. Add a vapor barrier to cover the earth in the crawl space. 3. Be willing to try living in lower humidity. 4. Eliminate any sources of moisture in your home, which you can control. 5. In winter, provide more controlled ways for moist inside air to get out. Run kitchen or other ventilating fans longer and more often than you normally do.
