4. Install a dehumidifier. During prolonged,
continuous use, a dehumidifying appliance may
be more comfortable and effective in removing
excess moisture from the interior air. While use of a
dehumidifier is not a “cure-all”, and ventilation, storm
windows and moisture reduction continue to be
important, operation of the dehumidifier will reduce
the amount of outside air needed for ventilation.
Heating load on the furnace will be reduced and the
interior will be less drafty.
WARNING
DO NOT COVER EMERGENCY EXIT WINDOW(S). THIS WINDOW MUST
BE LEFT ACCESSIBLE AT ALL TIMES FOR EMERGENCY EXIT.
Dripping Ceiling Vents
During cold weather and even in short term occupancy,
condensation frequently forms on ceiling vents and
may even accumulate to the point of dripping onto the
surfaces below. This is frequently misinterpreted as
a “leaking” roof vent but is most often condensation
drippage. Follow the preceding steps to control moisture
condensation; protect surfaces with plastic sheeting
until the moisture has dissipated.
WARNING
UREA-FORMALDEHYDE IS USED IN THE PRODUCTION OF PARTICLE
BOARD, HARDWOOD PLYWOOD, AND MOST PANELING. UREA-
FORMALDEHYDE RESIN MAY RELEASE FORMALDEHYDE VAPORS INTO
THE AIR, WHICH MAY CAUSE HEADACHES, AND IN SOME PEOPLE, EYE,
NOSE, AND THROAT IRRITATION. FORMALDEHYDE MAY INTENSIFY
SOME ALLERGIES OR UPPER RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS LIKE ASTHMA.
PROPER VENTILATION SHOULD REDUCE THE RISK OF SUCH PROBLEMS.
