Moisture Control and Ventilation

Moisture control and ventilation are important components of a well maintained home.

Moisture from everyday activities like cooking and bathing as well as cracks in the windows can lead to mold and mildew, which can cause or aggravate respiratory conditions like asthma. Excess moisture can also damage windowsills, carpets, and insulation.

Properly installed insulation and windows combined with a well-planned ventilation system are the best ways to protect your health and your home. In addition to controlling moisture, good ventilation keeps irritating pollutants and dangerous gases like carbon monoxide from accumulating inside the house.

Here are a few other things you can do to eliminate excess moisture:

Install proper venting in the attic and under floors
Cover the dirt in crawl spaces with plastic
Connect bath fans and dryer hoses directly to the outside
Use fans in kitchen and bathrooms
