Humidity can be a problem not only outside, but inside as well. Why should you be concerned about what your indoor humidity levels are? Simply put, high levels of relative humidity can have incredibly harmful effects on your body and your home. Our bodies have an instant and direct response to the humidity around us. Overly humid areas within the home may contribute to several health-related problems. Below are some of the negative effects of humidity on both your body and your home.

• Allergies, respiratory difficulty, asthma attacks, nasal congestion, and coughing are just a few of the issues related to living in an overly humid space. Excessive humidity can mean an increase in dangerous bacteria and dust mites, all of which may cause adverse allergic reactions and respiratory problems.
• Mold and mildew can compromise the structural integrity of your home. Wood is prone to moisture damage, and high humidity levels can make the damage even worse. Fungus spores feed off moisture in the air and can lead to wood decay, which will ultimately result in repairs to affected wood floors.
• Peeling paint and wallpaper, stained walls and ceilings, can all be caused by high indoor humidity levels that can result in bad odors and/or repairs.
• Humidity can destroy your belongings including books, paper, sports collections, musical instruments, dolls, pictures, comic books, metal items, and more.

Investing in a quality dehumidifier is key to help you to not fall victim to the damaging effects of high humidity.
