Moist Air Can Cause Major Winter Woes This article is provided by local Realtors and the Ontario Real Estate Association Association (OREA) for the benefit of consumers in the real estate estate market. Has your house developed developed a musty smell recently? recently? Do you have a lot of condensation condensation on your-windows? Have you noticed any mould or mildew on your walls or in your closets? Do your windows ice up during winter? winter? Is your basement damp and dank? If so, your house is probably probably suffering from an overabundance overabundance of moist air (high humidity). Left unchecked, this problem can eventually lead to structural damage (rotting wood and buckling) as well as causing harm to your belongings. But before you panic, keep in mind that there are several, relatively simple things you can do to make your home less humid and much more comfortable. First, you should realize that a certain amount of humidity humidity is necessary in your home, to keep you comfortable, comfortable, control static electricity and prevent your wood furniture furniture from cracking. However, in many newly- built or renovate a homes which have been rendered virtually air-tight, condensation condensation and higher levels of humidity humidity may become more of a noticeable problem, because because moist air becomes trapped and cannot escape as easily to ; the, outside through gaps and cracks. The problem becomes even more noticeable in the winter when lower outside temperatures cause condensation condensation or ice to build up on the interior surfaces of windows. windows. Reduce at Source The easiest way to begin cutting down the humidity in your home is to try and reduce the generation of moisture in your home- especially in winter. Every time you do a load of laundry or wash dishes, you are contributing to the humidity level in your home. It's better (and more economical) economical) to try and do one larger load of laundry or dishes than washing a series of several, smaller loads. Boiling liquids on top of the stove also contribute to the general overall humidity level of your home. While cooking, try to remember to put lias on your pots. Mr. Rose added that purchasers purchasers should check the warranty status of any new home they are considering. "Only homes enrolled after December 31, 1990, will come under the new regulation regulation covering the Power Train warranty and Major Structural Defects for seven years," he said. "Even after that time, there may be homes for sale that were enrolled enrolled before December 31, which do not carry the extended extended warranty coverage." Prospective home buyers should ask their builder about this, and can verify any information by calling the nearest Regional Office of ONHWP. . In addition to the new warranty enhancements, builders have many warranty warranty obligations which were already already in effect, and these remain remain unchanged. Builders' first year obligations include warranting that the home is free of defects in materials or workmanship, that it meets Ontario Building ' Code construction standards, standards, and that it is fit to live in. Builders are prohibited prohibited from delaying the closing closing date without suitable notice, notice, and from arbitrarily substituting key elements specified in the Agreement of Purchase and Sale. The basement must be warranted warranted for two years against water water penetration through the foundation from outside the home. New homes enrolled before before December 31, 1990 are warranted against Major Structural Defects for five years: The first year by the builder; the remaining four years by the Warranty Program.
