Home Humidity & Whole Home Dehumidifier Installations

Many homeowners struggle with the amount of moisture that is in their home & their home’s crawl space. Unfortunately, the moisture from the crawl space may slowly seep into the house, causing costly issues such as: floor deterioration, mold growth, musty odors, condensation on the windows and walls, and wet insulation. Moisture, though, may not be the only worry. Since most residential crawl spaces are vented, this gives perfect access to other pests such as bugs, insects, and even termites.

Whole Home Dehumidifiers are a great solution to help reduce the humidity level throughout your entire home, not just a few rooms. This dramatically increases your comfort level and greatly reduces the risk of moisture related damage to your home. Reduced humidity levels help to prevent mold and mildew development, which can prevent expensive repairs in the future.

5 BENEFITS OF A WHOLE HOME DEHUMIDIFIER

Protection to Your Home: Dehumidification systems can help to prevent mold, fungal, & other growths in your home or under your home. This growth can be detrimental the foundation and crawl space, so it's important to have protection from the dehumidifier.

9 SIGNS YOU NEED YOUR CRAWL SPACE INSPECTED

• Humidity – Many crawl spaces are incredibly humid and retain lots of moisture. This crawl space air naturally rises into the home and can cause issues to your home’s structure, air quality, and overall comfort.
• Condensation on Surfaces – If you notice moisture collecting on surface areas, floors, foundation, and joists, this can signal that the moisture level in the crawl space may be too high.
• Sticking Doors – When humidity levels reach above normal, the excess moisture absorbs and expands the wood in your home. You may notice how interior doors will tighten in the frame and make it difficult to open or close properly.
• Warped Flooring – Your floors are easily damaged by overly moist environments. The floors may warp, pop, crack, or seem uneven.
• Hot/Cold Rooms or Cold Floors – Rooms that are not comfortable could be caused by a lack of insulation in the crawl space or from air leakage. Floors may be cold in the winter due to lack of insulation in the crawl.
• High Energy Bills – Do you have adequate insulation in your crawl? Is duct work torn under your crawl space? Your air conditioner could be working extra hard to keep the temps comfortable. These are just a few reasons how the crawl space may be the culprit for high energy bills.
• Odor – Since air circulates from the crawl space, any rotten debris can cause a musty smell in your home.
• Mold and Mildew – Damp areas that may be tucked away tend to offer good homes for mold and other forms of growth. Breathing any type of growth negatively affects the air quality in your home, thus influencing your health. Allergies, chronic coughing, difficulty breathing, and mild to severe headaches may occur!
• Animals/Rodents – If you are hearing or smelling any animal presence, it may be that they have taken up residence in accessible crawl space points.
