Negatives Effects of High Moisture
If moisture problems are not remedied, they can lead to mold growth, which can have huge and negative effects on any member of your household. Mold may remain totally hidden for years before you're able to find evidence of it. But one way you can prevent mold from developing in your Charleston home is to have the moisture levels in your home analyzed.
High moisture levels in your indoor air can also be a major problem for your home's durability. Wood-destroying fungus becomes active with 28-30% moisture. High humidity and condensation can easily elevate the moisture content of a crawl space and the wood in your home to 37% or higher. If the excessive moisture condition is not discovered and corrected, the wood will rot to the point where it needs to be replaced, which is a much more expensive and time-consuming project than preventative moisture control.
