That's a lot of water

Ross, be thankful for the warning your windows are
giving you. While you can reduce the humidity with
a dehumidifier, you will pay for it in energy costs,
so it should be a last resort. Unless you have a huge family
and someone is cooking (boiling water) all day, I
would really suggest checking the crawlspace or
basement. Tape down a square yard of plastic for a
couple of days and see how much water you accumulate.
For much more info plus input from some experts,
check out the "Moisture Mold & Mitigation" and "Air
Infiltration" threads on the TOH BB (www.pathfinder.com/TOH).
BTW, it really helps to know in what part of the country
you are located.
