The problem with excessive condensation is water damage to window frames, wallpaper, and plaster. It can also be a signal that other areas of your home are suffering from excessive moisture. The attic is a good place to check, as most attics are not as heated or insulated as the rest of the home. Insulation can become moist, causing mold and mildew to enter the living spaces in your home. 

To solve the issue of condensation, you need to either install an adequate insulation barrier or address the high level of humidity in your home. A few ways to achieve this are:

• Taping or stapling a taut piece of plastic across the windows using a common window insulation kit.
• Upgrading to double pane windows to better insulate and keep your inner windows protected.
• Using a dehumidifier to cut down the moisture inside your home.
