Window Condensation & Mold

Window condensation can be a natural occurrence. It can be a warning that excessive moisture is present and may cause structural deterioration and the possibility of mold growth.

• Condensation on the inside of a window is a result of a higher air moisture content contacting lower temperatures on the glass. The higher the interior humidity and the lower the outside window temperature, the more condensation can occur.

Excessive interior humidity can lead to structural damage and health concerns if high moisture levels are sustained inside wall cavities. Wood rot, mold and mildew can result.

Check all sash for smooth adequate operation. Add integrated window ventilators and air exchange deceives if necessary.

Regularly use exhaust fans especially when showering.

• Install and use a dehumidifier. Use ceiling fans to circulate air.

Open windows and doors whenever practical or possible to allow interior moisture to escape.
