Inadequate Insulation
The most common cause of indoor condensation is poor insulation throughout the attic space, house or in a single wall, inadequate heating systems and air leakage. The United States Department of Energy advises homeowners to obtain an energy audit to determine if the existing insulation inside their home is adequate or whether it is causing condensation or other moisture problems. Contact a qualified energy auditor in your area for an energy assessment. If you do not wish to obtain an energy audit, contact us to inspect your home for insulation. Check the attic, garage, walls and basement for insulation type and thickness.
