Moisture Control in Virginia

When the moisture levels in your home get out of control, bad things typically follow. Mildew and fungus all thrive in wet environments, meaning that your home could be overrun before you know it. Over time, moisture can build up in your home, giving spores a place to grow. At Mitchell Pest Solutions, our moisture control technicians work hard to keep humidity levels low, using innovative and effective methods to protect your home. 

Moisture Control from Mitchell Pest Solutions includes:

• An inspection of vulnerable areas in your home to assess moisture levels and other risk factors.
• The installation of moisture barriers and other moisture exclusion methods.
• Protection from moisture-related hazards like fungi and mildew.
• Flexible service on your schedule.
• Guaranteed results.
• And more!

Know the Signs of Excessive Moisture

As with most home maintenance, the first step in identifying a problem is knowing what to look for. Fortunately, excessive moisture levels can lead to some very easily identifiable signs that can help you understand exactly what is going on. If you notice any of the following in your home, you may be in need of professional moisture control and should give us a call.

• A musty smell that travels throughout the house.
• Warped wood or buckling floors (this can also be a sign of termite damage, so look for the signs of termites in your home as well).
• Peeling paint.
• A moist feeling in the air. 
• Mysterious stains that seem to grow in size. 
• Condensation on the inside of windows, especially during mild weather conditions. 
• An uptick in allergy symptoms in those living in the house. 

Why Do I Need Moisture Control?

The presence of fungi in your home can present a significant hazard to your loved ones. Prolonged exposure to mature forms of fungi or inhalation of their spores can have deleterious effects on your family’s health and leave them vulnerable to many other conditions. Keeping the moisture levels in your home isn’t just a way to stay comfortable and prolong its usable years, although those are benefits. Rather, moisture control is a way to keep those you hold closest safe and healthy. Hazards of fungi in your home include: 

• Adverse health effects including congestion, coughing, sore throat, skin rash, and even lung irritation and Bronchitis. 
• Increased risk of allergic reactions.
• Increased danger of breathing-related issues, particularly in those with asthma, immune deficiencies, or other underlying conditions. 
• Lethargy and memory loss, especially in young children.
• In some cases, the same conditions that foster the growth of fungi can also lead to increased levels of bacteria and other harmful microorganisms in your home.
