Where does all the moisture come from? In a word, everywhere.
• In the kitchen, moisture is generated by cooking food, using the sink,running the dishwasher. • In the bathroom, from showers, hot tubs and spas. • Washers and indoor-vented dryers contribute as well. • Basements and crawl spaces can channel dampness from the ground into your home. • Even breathing and perspiration add moisture to indoor air. Collectively, a family of four can easily generate up to 18 gallons of water a week in the form of humidity inside your home.
