Humidity and Moisture Control Services

The presence of moisture and humidity under your home can cause wood rot and weaken structural members. Wet conditions also promote mold, mildew and fungi growth, which in turn can produce unpleasant, musty odors, negatively affect indoor air quality, and have adverse health effects on home residents. Untreated wood that is softened by moisture, humidity, and wood rot can become a tasty meal for wood destroying organisms like termites.

All of a sudden a minor nuisance has become a threat to your health and the structural integrity of your home.
