You may not realize that moisture is the cause of many problems around your home. It may also cause the health symptoms experienced by people in your home. Honestly, moisture is one of the biggest enemies inside a home because it can lead to significant damage to your property and health concerns for your loved ones. Most people know the common signs of moisture problems, but what about the sneaky, subtle signs?
Sneaky Signs of Moisture Problems
Sneaky signs of moisture problems are less common, although nonetheless problematic for homeowners. Here are the sneaky signs of moisture problems many homeowners miss.
- Peeling Paint: Excessive moisture loosens seals, ultimately causing the paint on walls and ceilings to peel on exterior and interior surfaces.
- Sneezing: Moisture can dampen the air in a room, leading to musty odors coupling with allergens in the air that may cause sneezing. If you start sneezing when you walk into your house, moisture could be the cause.
- Watery Eyes: Poor indoor air quality, mold, mildew, and other triggers can be tear-jerkers, causing itchy, watery eyes in many individuals.
- Allergic Reactions: Moisture often causes mold and mildew that can trigger allergic reactions in some individuals. Symptoms of an allergic reaction include sneezing, coughing, watery eyes, and itchy eyes. Symptoms vary in severity depending on your location and other factors.
