What Are The Signs You Need Moisture Remediation Services?

Moisture remediation services are essential when you have excessive moisture or water-related issues in your home or property. 

Here are some signs that indicate you may need moisture remediation services:

  • Visible Fungal Growth: The presence of surface fungus on walls, ceilings, or other surfaces is a clear sign of excessive moisture. Fungus needs moisture to thrive, so if you see any, it's an indicator of a moisture problem. 
  • Musty Odor: A persistent musty or damp smell in your home is often a sign of moisture issues. 
  • Water Stains: Stains on walls, ceilings, or floors can be a sign of water leaks or moisture intrusion. These stains may be discolored or have a water ring appearance.
  • Warped or Buckled Flooring: Excessive moisture can cause wood floors to warp, laminate to bubble, or tile to become loose. If your flooring is showing signs of warping or buckling, moisture remediation may be necessary.
  • Peeling Paint or Wallpaper: Moisture can cause paint or wallpaper to peel, bubble, or blister. If you notice these issues, it's a sign that moisture is affecting the underlying surfaces.
  • High Humidity Levels: Monitoring indoor humidity levels is important. High humidity levels, especially above 60%, can contribute to moisture problems. A hygrometer can help you measure humidity levels.
  • Condensation: Excessive condensation on windows, walls, or pipes can be a sign of high humidity and inadequate ventilation, leading to potential moisture problems.
  • Water Leaks: Obvious water leaks from plumbing, roofs, windows, or foundation cracks are clear indicators of moisture intrusion. Addressing these leaks promptly is crucial.
  • Deteriorating Building Materials: Moisture can cause building materials like drywall, insulation, and wood to deteriorate over time. Look for signs of crumbling drywall, soggy insulation, or rotting wood.
  • Health Issues: If occupants of a building experience health issues like allergies, respiratory problems, or skin irritation that seem to worsen indoors or improve when they leave, it could be due to moisture-related problems.
  • Insect or Pest Infestations: Moist environments can attract pests such as termites, ants, and roaches. If you notice an increase in pest activity, it may be related to moisture issues.
  • Foundation Cracks or Settling: Excessive moisture around or beneath your foundation can lead to cracks or settling. This can compromise the structural integrity of your home.

If you notice any of these signs, it's important to address them promptly to prevent further damage and potential health hazards. 

Moisture remediation services can help identify the source of the problem and implement appropriate solutions to mitigate moisture-related issues. 

Consulting with professionals experienced in moisture remediation is often the best course of action to ensure your property is safe and dry.

Our Columbia Moisture Remediation Options

Too much moisture is a problem for any property. Our pest control experts know firsthand, too much moisture also attracts pests, including termites, rodents, mosquitos, cockroaches, and other insects that pose a risk to your family’s comfort. 

Fortunately, you’ll never have to worry about that as long as you’ve got the Columbia moisture remediation experts at Modern Exterminating on your side.

Modern Exterminating Is Proud to Offer Moisture Remediation Devices in Columbia, SC Including:

  • Temperature Control Ventilators: These passive vents are widely used and work well to ventilate most crawlspaces. They are highly effective because they are temperature sensitive, opening completely at approximately 70®F and closing at approximately 40®F.
  • Polyethylene Moisture Barriers: The practice of installing six-millimeter polyethylene in crawlspace surfaces helps assist in the control of excess moisture vapor. Clemson University Regulatory Public Service Programs and Department of Pesticide Regulation recommends 80% ground coverage when using this cutting-edge technology.
  • French Drains: French Drain or weeping tile is a trench filled with gravel or containing perforated pipe that redirects surface water and groundwater away from an area. This is a useful system for the removal of standing water from a crawl space.
  • Sump Pumps: The purpose of a sump pump is to help keep basements or crawlspaces dry when it rains or an extreme weather event occurs. As any knowledgeable plumber will tell you, these appliances are essential for homes with basements, especially in parts of the country that get a lot of precipitation.

Our Columbia moisture remediation team can offer a wide range of solutions to help eliminate moisture problems, protecting your household and your property from pests and other issues.
