Condensation in your home can be aggravating and damaging to your house. Moisture brings with it mould and mould will eat your home’s structure. It’s important to have the right amount of moisture in the air and the right temperature in your home to eliminate condensation.

You may find condensation in any room of your home, but especially in your basement, kitchen and bathroom. These rooms tend to have more moisture building up and are considered the biggest trouble spots for condensation.

Here are a few easy tips to help remove condensation from your house:

Turn Ceiling, Bathroom And Kitchen Exhaust Fans On

Circulating the air around your home will reduce condensation. Also, be sure your ceiling fans move clockwise. This will push warm air down from the ceiling and warm up areas in your home.

Raise The Temperature In Your Home

Condensation can build up on windows when the windows are cold from the outside and the home inside is much warmer. In order to warm up your windows, you have to raise the temperature of your entire home.

Turn Down Your Humidifier 

Humidifiers release moisture into the air. If you have it on a higher setting it may be releasing too much moisture. Also, be sure to turn it off when it is not needed.

Open Windows In Your Home

Opening windows in your home will allow for a good cross breeze and circulate the air better. Moisture and condensation don’t build up fast in a dryer home.

Add Weather Stripping To Your Home

Weather stripping your windows will trap the warm area in your home and significantly decrease the moisture in your home. They are easy to install and quite cost-effective.

Use A Moisture Eliminator

You can buy products like Momentum E150 or DampRid and place them in your trouble spots in your home. These products absorb excess moisture in the air.

Use Storm Windows Or Double Pane Windows

The thickness and space between panes allow for the interior side of the window to stay warmer and not allow moisture and condensation to build up. This may be a bit pricier than the other ways to reduce condensation, however, it will be worth it in the long run,
