    Default Re: excessive condensation

    Cold water coming in was probably cold enough to make the pipe cool to or below the dew point, causing the moisture in the air to condense all along it.

    Did you take temperature reading of the water pipe?

    Did you take humidity and temperature readings, along with dew point readings?
