Moisture and Air: Moisture Problems Summary

There are two types of moisture problems: leaks and condensation. This publication focuses on condensation problems.

When warm, moist air comes into contact with a surface that is too cold, moisture condenses. The water and frost that you see collecting on windows is a visible example.

Condensation may also be collecting in your attic and inside the exterior walls.

Over time, if the air in your house is too humid, the result may be damage to the house structure, your possessions and possibly your health. Controlling humidity in your home is the best step to preventing mold problems.
