How Do You Know if You Need a Dehumidifier?

Some water problems are more evident than others. High humidity levels are not always apparent or noticeable right away, especially if you don’t spend a lot of time in your basement. The result of uncontrolled humidity tends to show itself over time. Humid air is caused by water evaporating into the air. Even if you don’t have basement water leaks, water underneath your foundation could be pushing moisture through the walls. Another common cause is if humid air from outdoors has access to your basement. Whatever the reason, there are common signs of uncontrolled humidity in a foundation, such as:

• Musty odors
• Damp walls
• Condensation on surfaces
• Mold growth on floors, walls, ceilings, or fabrics

Benefits of Basement Humidity Control

Besides the obvious reason of creating healthier air in your basement, there are many additional benefits to controlling the humidity in that part of the house, even if you don’t use it for living space.

• Improve the air quality in your entire home – Unpleasant conditions in one part of the home can make their way into others, especially if they start down below. Heat and humidity travel up through the house to other levels spreading harmful effects to the kitchen, living room, bedrooms, and other places.
• Eliminate odors – Odor-causing bacteria grow faster in warmer temperatures, which is why humid air is known for trapping moldy, musty, and unpleasant scents indoors.
• Reduce allergies – Low humidity air doesn’t contain the mites and fungi that cause allergic reactions and respiratory issues that affect some people.
• Protect your belongings – Mold that grows in humid climates attaches itself to materials containing wood fibers such as wood furniture, sheetrock, wood walls and floors, and even fabrics in carpets, clothes, and furniture. Protect fabrics and avoid costly repairs by controlling mold-spawning humid conditions.
