Homeowners Can Control Condensation and Moisture
Practical guidance from Better Homes & Gardens on reducing indoor moisture. Start by fixing exterior entry points to stop water ingress, then vent moisture from kitchens baths and laundry. Open windows or install exhaust fans, add gable vents or louvers, and size attic vents at one sq ft per 100 sq ft of floor area. Use mineral wool batt insulation with vapor barrier on the heated side to prevent vapor penetration.
