Gone are the days of natural ventilation through numerous small leakages in our houses. Instead we find tight windows and doors, while walls and ceilings are sealed by vapor barriers. Moisture on the inside of the double glazing has become a sign of an unsound indoor climate. For health reasons, it’s important to maintain a proper humidity level in your home.

While too little humidity can cause some discomfort issues such as chapped lips as well as cracks in wooden furniture, the reverse side of the coin – too much moisture, can make your home a breeding ground for mold and mildew, which can lead to some very serious health issues.

Some homes may have moisture problems only at certain times of the year, such as in Spring when there is a lot of ground water runoff, while other residences need help to control moisture levels, year round.

There are also times when moisture is a problem only in one room or area of the home and though small, this should not be neglected.
