- Ventilation: Keep windows open in the kitchen and bathroom, or use exhaust fans to expel moisture.
- Dryer Venting: Ensure your clothes dryer is vented to the outdoors to minimize indoor moisture.
- Basement Dehumidification: Basements can harbor moisture; use a dehumidifier to keep it dry.
- Attic Ventilation: Proper attic ventilation is essential.
- Insulation: Add insulation to windows, pipes, exterior walls, roofing, and floors to reduce condensation.
- Flood Response: Promptly clean up after a basement or crawl space flood, and take steps to prevent future incidents.
