Water vapour cools and turns to liquid creating condensation problems in Middlebrook. You may experience condensation build up when you steam up the bath during your shower and the mirror fogs over. Take a cold drink from the fridge on a hot day and the experience is the same. Usually, condensation doesn’t present much of problem unless there is no way for it to quickly escape like with an exhaust fan. Moist air is warmer so often homeowners put the humidity settings so high that water runs down the windows. Laundry rooms without adequate ventilation can build up condensation that may go unnoticed until you see the black mould tracking on the walls or floors.

So, if you steam up the kitchen, bath or laundry room, use your vent fan and then turn down your home humidifier.  For homes in Middlebrook, condensation damage can be minimised or prevented with common sense precautions.
