A few signs that may indicate your home is experiencing moisture related issues.

​

• Hardwood floor cupping

• Condensation on air conditioning ductwork or registers

• Musty smell. With moisture problems comes mold. Mold, when left to develop undisturbed, has a distinct smell. Musty, like old books or rooms that have been shut for too long. If scents like that persist throughout your home, you have a problem.

• You’re having problems with your electronics. Moisture levels above 70 or 70% can start negatively affecting electronic devices within your home. It can corrode contacts inside these devices that leads to repeatedly shorting circuits.

• Wet blocks or bricks on the foundation wall

• Foundation vents below grade on the exterior of the home.
