To stop plumbing pipes from "sweating" (collecting heavy condensation and dripping moisture in humid weather), you must insulate them properly with closed-cell foam pipe insulation sleeves or self-sealing polyethylene pipe wrap tape. This creates a vital thermal barrier that prevents warm, humid ambient air from coming into direct contact with cold pipe surfaces. Additionally, running a dehumidifier in damp basements or crawlspaces helps lower overall indoor humidity. Verification: Ensure all foam insulation seams are tightly sealed with waterproof tape to prevent any moisture penetration.
