This is a picture of a closet wall extensively
damaged by mould. The humidifier on the furnace
in this house was set at 60% plus. (Way too
high. We recommend 25% max., winter only) This
damaged wall in this closet is also an exterior
wall of this house. As a result, it is colder
than the other walls in the closet. Add to that,
the fact that this closet also contains the
uninsulated access hatch to the attic, and you
have a recipe for significant condensation and
the resulting mould and damage.
