Moisture can wreak havoc inside a home. It lurks around the home in inconspicuous places yet leaves behind a plethora of signs and symptoms of its presence. Not only can moisture damage furniture, appliances, electronics, and even food in the kitchen, it can make you sick. A bit of proactiveness can help you manage moisture problems and prevent the potential consequences it creates in your home.
How to Prevent Moisture Problems in Your Home
Here are the recommended actions you can take to keep your home moisture-free.
- Identify Sources of Moisture: This can be tricky since moisture is found in unsuspected locations. Consider hiring a professional for a thorough inspection. If you prefer to DIY, check out the basement, bathroom, and other moisture-prone areas for signs, including discoloration on the walls, room dampness, mold and mildew, and unpleasant odors.
- Improve Ventilation: Seal and insulate your home, maintain your HVAC systems, control humidity by opening doors and windows or using a humidifier, and take other steps to improve ventilation in your home to sway ventilation issues away.
- Repair Leaks: Even a small drip from the bathtub faucet can bring moisture problems into your life. Look high and low for leaks within your plumbing system and repair them immediately. You’ll clear many of your moisture problems when leaks no longer exist.
