When moisture builds up in a home, it creates a perfect environment for biological contaminants like mold, bacteria, and dust mites to grow. These organisms can trigger:

• Respiratory problems
• Sinus congestion
• Skin irritation
• Allergies and asthma flare-ups

For people with compromised immune systems or pre-existing conditions, the effects can be even more severe—leading to frequent illnesses, worsened symptoms, and in some cases, hospital visits. Mold spores and bacterial particles can enter the lungs, causing inflammation and increasing toxic burden on the body.

Controlling humidity isn’t just about comfort—it’s about reducing health risks. The good news? With awareness and a few targeted changes, you can drastically improve the air quality and safety of your home environment.
