The Importance of Dehumidifiers

To help avoid health problems for your family and structural problems for your home, it’s important to maintain a proper humidity level in your home. Too much moisture can create an environment that’s ideal for allergens such as mold, mildew and dust mites. Mold and mildew can thrive inside the walls and beneath the flooring. Many types of mold are potentially dangerous and can lead to many health problems. Excess moisture can aggravate conditions such as arthritis and rheumatism and higher dust mite activity can increase the risk of asthma. If you have a basement, it is especially important to continuously run a dehumidifier during the summer months. A dehumidifier can help you eliminate excess moisture problems.
