Why Is Excessive Moisture a Problem for Homes?

Excessive moisture can be a significant problem for homes, especially in a place like coastal Virginia where we frequently experience high humidity and heavy rain. One of the biggest issues is structural damage. Water is notorious for rotting, decaying, and warping wood. This means high humidity, gradual water accumulation, and flooding can all compromise your home’s supporting structures. 

Other problems include:

  • Mold and mildew: Excessive moisture can create an ideal environment for mold and mildew to thrive. This poses health risks to your household, as mold spores can cause respiratory issues. It also impacts your home’s aesthetic. 
  • Fungi: Fungi grow in moist areas. If your home has a fungal problem, it could cause extensive damage and compromise your household’s health. 
  • Pest infestations: Bugs and rodents like damp environments and are likelier to invade homes where they find ample moisture. 
  • Poor indoor air quality: High humidity levels impact indoor air quality, worsening respiratory conditions and decreasing your home’s comfort.
  • Damage to home furnishings and belongings: Moisture can damage furniture, carpets, and other belongings, necessitating costly replacements and repairs.
  • HVAC overloads: Excessive moisture can strain HVAC systems, leading to increased energy use and potential malfunctions.
  • Basement and crawl space issues: Coastal Virginia is prone to flooding and standing water, which can seep into basements and crawl spaces, causing water damage and other issues.
