Is Humidity Making Your Home Unhealthy?

In some parts of the country, humidity is a year-round problem. Summers are hot and sticky, and winters are wet and soggy. All this moisture may keep the grass green and the foliage bright, but it can also cause problems inside your home. Grass and trees are not the only things that love the humidity; mold grows best in a humid environment. Don’t let mold takeover your home and cause an unhealthy place for your family. Reduce humidity with a dehumidifier system.

How do you know if your home is under mold attack? Some signs are obvious, like mold on walls or windows. But often mold hides in areas you can’t see, but the danger and damage it causes is still there. If you have any of these issues in your home, you may have a potential mold issue waiting to happen.

  • Condensation on windows or walls
  • Moldy or musty smells in the home
  • Wet stains on ceiling tiles
  • Warped floor boards
  • Increased allergy issues in your family
  • Hard-to-control bathroom mold

If you have noticed any of these issues in your home, it is time to invest in a dehumidifier for your home. A whole house dehumidifier works with your air conditioning system to keep moisture levels under control. An experienced HVAC service company can test your humidity levels in your home and offer solutions for better moisture control.

Mold can affect your family’s health and cause expensive damage to your home. Don’t let the high humidity make your home unhealthy. Remove the excess moisture with the installation of a new dehumidifier for your home to protect your family and home investment.
