Control Indoor Residential Humidity
Exhaust Fans
Kitchen and bathroom exhaust fans are there for a reason. Use them when cooking or showering to direct moisture outside of the home. These fans can also help mitigate humidity in a home interior during exceptionally high humidity levels. This habit alone can mitigate a significant amount of moisture in your home. Considering the importance of this one simple home system, ensure your exhaust fans are functional. Should they stop working, don’t ignore the issue. Have them repaired as quickly as possible.
Ventilation
A tightly sealed building envelope is ideal for energy efficiency and protection from moisture intrusion. Unfortunately, that incredibly helpful protection can also trap elements that need to exit the home. Breathing causes the moisture. Cooking and showering create vapor that condenses, and everything from cleaning counters to securing our hairstyle employs chemicals sprayed into the air. Ventilation is the way to remove these trapped pollutants from a home.
The ideal ventilation system for your home may include operating fans regularly with open windows or installing an energy recovery ventilator. The team at Innovative Construction Solutions can inspect your home and suggest and implement the most appropriate ventilation solution.
Dehumidifier
The ideal humidity within a home should range from 40-60%. If other efforts fail, a humidifier, installed as part of your ductwork system or as a stand-alone unit, can accomplish this goal for you.
Why It Matters
Extended humidity within your home is expected in this remarkable part of the world! Trade-offs, right? Sure, humidity is a given, but if you allow it to linger for an extended period, the results will be devastatingly expensive: buckled and warped flooring, peeling paint, mold and mildew, frame corrosion, etc.
Innovative Construction Solutions specializes in offering answers to problems like these. We will find the source of excess humidity and stop it—whether that means repairing a leak, improving ventilation, or installing a dehumidifier.
