The most effective strategy to stop condensation on pipes and structural surfaces is combining thermal pipe insulation with active indoor humidity control. Wrap all cold water supply pipes in thick closed-cell foam insulation sleeves to maintain surface temperatures above the dew point. Simultaneously, deploy high-capacity dehumidifiers in damp areas like basements and crawlspaces, and use exhaust fans in kitchens and bathrooms to maintain indoor relative humidity below 50 percent. Verification: Use a digital hygrometer to ensure ambient humidity stays within safe parameters.
