Hi all,
Near Chicago area here, today I woke up with condensation only along the bottom edge of nearly every window in my house. I've done a ton of research on this in the past and I know that most say I need to lower the humidity in my house because that only obvious answer anymore, my house is incredibly dry both my hygrometers read 20% in basement, and 24% on main level and crusty dry noses every morning and the kids get bloody noses here and there.
I don't think high humidity is the issue.
On a side note if I'm right and high humidity isn't the case here, could this be an air leakage issue? My floors/baseboards all feel cold on exterior walls so i think there's air leakage in my walls up from the rim joist area. Basement is fully finished with nice Sheetrock so inspecting down there isn't an option.
Any thoughts on this condensation/possible air leakage issue?
