Does your house feel damp? This may seem like a silly question to ask with all the recent storms and flooding, but with cooler winter temperatures around the corner high indoor humidity can foster condensation and mold growth, reduce the R-value of your home's insulation, and left unchecked damage structural components.To guard against this, it's important to inspect your home regularly, maintain an indoor humidity level of between 30 and 35% during the colder winter months and, keep an eye out for evidence of moisture damage in attics and basements, ghosting of framing members on interior gypsum board wall and ceiling surfaces, mold growth in colder corners, and naturally moisture on the inside of window panes.
