If your basement smells musty, your windows are constantly fogging up, or you have noticed mold, excess humidity could be the culprit. A home dehumidifier might be exactly what you need.
Why Excess Humidity Is a Problem
According to the EPA, mold can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours when humidity exceeds 60%. Beyond health risks, excess moisture causes wood rot, peeling paint, and warped flooring.
How a Dehumidifier Works
A dehumidifier pulls warm, moist air over cold coils. The moisture condenses into water. Whole-home units connect to your HVAC, while portable units work great for basements and crawl spaces.
