Indoor Humidity Control in Sterling Heights & Warren

Eliminate moisture damage with our dry home solutions

Tearing out water-damaged drywall and replacing it with new materials will lead to future moisture problems if even a small amount of moisture remains trapped behind the new wall material.

Structural wood framing should contain no more than 14% moisture (12% or less is ideal). As a comparison, firewood is dry enough to burn when its moisture content is 20% or less.

Flooding water deals enormous damage to a building. However, the worst of the damage is often not caused directly by the flooding itself.

Once the standing water has been removed, moisture will still exist in areas such as fiberglass insulation, drywall, carpeting, and within structural wood.

If this moisture is not dried and removed completely, it will encourage mold growth behind the walls and in enclosed cavities (closets, wall voids, cabinets, crawl spaces) within the building.

Other Types Of Humidity Damage

In addition to mold growth, building humidity will also enhance the growth of allergenic dust mites and health-compromising bacteria.

The dark, humid environment also provides an ideal habitat for a wide variety of pests, including cockroaches, termites, carpenter ants, rodents, wood-boring beetles, and more.
