Effective Ways to Stop Plumbing Sweat This Summer

It doesn’t help you mow the lawn. It sits inside all day. It’s not even nervous, and yet it won’t stop sweating! If you’re dealing with excess condensation, or sweating, on your plumbing, you know how annoying the puddle, mop, repeat cycle can be. But did you know all that extra moisture is enough to damage your home? Save your walls and floors from mold and mildew - and save yourself from having to clean up all those puddles - with our effective ways to stop plumbing sweat this Summer.
One simple but highly effective way to stop condensation is by insulating your pipes. With the help of pipe insulation, you can wrap your plumbing in a protective layer that stops warm, humid air from interacting with the cold pipes, which is the root cause of condensation. Pipe insulation is often easy to install thanks to its pre-slit design and adhesive closure, making it a quick fix with a big impact.
True to their name, anti-sweat valves are great options when it comes to eliminating sweat on pipes and plumbing fixtures. Anti-sweat valves mix a small amount of warm water into supply lines, thereby raising overall the temperature of the pipe enough to prevent condensation. Anti-Sweat Valves are real problem-solvers, particularly at the water line to the toilet, but they can also useful underneath a vanity sink.
Installing a quality ventilation fan, especially in high-humidity areas like bathrooms, is key. A ventilation fan works wonders by taking steam out of the air, dramatically reducing the potential for condensation on cooler surfaces. Some vent fans are able to clear a hundred fifty cubic feet of air every minute, quickly removing steam and keeping home surfaces dry.
For an even larger scale solution for getting moisture out of the air, consider a whole-home dehumidifier. Dehumidifiers are especially effective in regions with heavy humidity. Note that a whole-home dehumidifier should be professionally installed. But while the installation might require professional help, the comfort and protection it offers your home is well worth it.
