Condensation, ice windows a sign of excessive moisture From Page 1 any moist air to the outside. If you don't already have an exhaust fan in your kitchen, you may want to consider having ome installed. You can also open a window to help expel any moist, warm air. The same rule of thumb applies to showering and bathing. Make sure you turn on your exhaust fan to draw moist air out of the house. If you don't have a ventilating fan, you may want to have one installed. If you have a fan, but it fails to do an adequate job, you may want to consider upgrading to a more power- ful unit. You can also open up your bathroom window a bit, to let any warm, moist air escape. TURN CARS INTO $$ Thinking of trading that old car In for a newer model? Why not put some cash into your pocket by selling it through the PORT PERRY STAR "CLASSIFIEDS" PLEASE RECYCLE AY Other Factors Several other factors also contribute to the general humidity level of your home, such as drying your laundry on an indoor clothesline or clothes rack. An exposed dirt floor in the basement or crawl space can also enhance the humidity level of your home. Installation of vapor barriers can help effective- ly control the problem. Houseplants are also responsible for giving off moisture, and you may want to eliminate some if you have an overabundant supply in your house. You may also be adding a significant amount of humidity to your home if you have a recently renovated, well-sealed house and you use a humidifier. In most cases, this will only serve to enhance the humidity level in your home. Ventilation Good ventilation will help you control the moisture levels within your home. Exhaust fans, as mentioned above, are a good way to ventilate rooms where a lot of moisture is generated. You can also have a fresh air intake or an air ex- changer (with a heat ex- changer) installed. Opening windows for short periods of time also helps to keep your house better ventilated. It's extremely important to ensure that air can move freely throughout your home. Don't block your cold air returns or heat registers. Also make sure your attic vents are not blocked and that they are in good operating condition.
