What is considered a comfortable humidity level? My handy pygometer here says a %40-50 range is 'comfortable' in a home environment..
HOWEVER - My Question is this; At what humidity level does mold/mildew become a danger?
I run about a 65-70% humidity in the main fish room, and a %50 humidity downstairs.. I have 2 de-humidifiers running, as well as a huge industrial fan for air movement.. There is also a central heating system in constant use..
Should mold be a concern? Will it saturate into the drywall or anything else? What can I do for prevention, or should I be concerned?
Any information would help.. Especially a voucher to show my landlord there is nothing to be concerned about..
(Situation: The wheather gets very cold outside, and the neighbors begin to complain about moisture building up on pipes and windows. Natural occurance, or my fault? We never had this problem above 50 degrees..)
