• Moisture develops when the indoor temerature is different from the outdoor temperature and the moisture in the air is fluxuating in its abiblity to retain moisture which is why water is deposited on windows.
• This is a common occurance, especially in new homes due to the fact that the new building materials contain a great deal of moisture and as soon as the heat is turned on this moisture will flow out in the air and settle on doors and windows. After one season this will usually disappear.
• Humid summers give the chance for houses to absorb moisture. This can be easily resolved by opening some doors and windows to allow the home to air out.
• Quick temperature changes will almost always cause moisture and condensation. After the temperature levels out the moisture will go away.
• Remember that windows do not cause condensation, so replacing the windows will not stop condensation.
• Little fogging or frosting that comes and goes on the lower corners of windows is nothing fret about.

Six ways to reduce and control your home's humidity:

1. Shut off all household humidifiers
2. Air out the entire house for a few minutes each day. Ventilate the kitchen, utility room, and bathrooms during use.
3. Run exhaust fans longer and more often.
4. Open the fireplace damper.
5. Be sure attic and basement crawl-spaces are open.
6. Vent all humidity producers such as clothes dryers and all gas burners to the outodoors.
