Dehumidification 101
Why is a Dehumidifier Necessary?
Excessive moisture can be pose a significant threat to a building’s integrity and the well-being of those within it. Uncontrolled humidity can cause many different issues that range from health hazards to damage to the structural components. Mold and dust mites thrive in damp places, along with many other insects like termites and carpenter ants. The air quality degrades over time due to the presence of impurities such as fungal spores, exposing anyone in the environment to a series of possible respiratory issues. Even electronic equipment is at risk when there’s too much moisture present.
Some of the other issues it can bring include:
- Structural Decay
- Presence of Insects
- Metal Corrosion
- Mold & Mildew
- Chipped and Peeled Paint
- Overworked HVAC Systems
- Allergens and Dustmites
- Respiratory Issues such as asthma or allergies
Other Sources of Moisture in the Basement or Crawl Space
Water in the soil surrounding your foundation can be an important source of excessive humidity in your home, as it transfers moisture to your basement or crawl space over time. Condensation due to differences between the interior and exterior temperatures are also a common factor, and it can be triggered even through daily activities such as bathing and cooking.
If left untreated, all this humidity can start to significantly affect other elements in the environment, from the integrity of structural components to the health and well-being of those inside the home. That’s why efficient and reliable moisture control measures are so important – and, thankfully, WiseAire is here to provide just that.
