Common Mold & Humidity Problems in Wisconsin
Mold, dust mites, and rot — these are common issues that can sneak into our homes, especially in damp and humid spaces like basements and crawl spaces. Let's break these problems down.
- Common Mold: Mold spores are tiny particles that exist nearly everywhere. They just need the right conditions to grow: warmth, moisture, and something organic to feed on. Mold spores can be a serious issue for people with allergies. Approximately 50% of homes have at least one resident with allergies, and mold can be a major trigger. In fact, 90% of people with allergies are sensitive to mold spores.
- Black Mold: While rare, black mold is highly toxic and dangerous when it infests your home. It produces harmful mycotoxins that have been linked to severe health issues, including liver cancer, lung cancer, nervous system damage, and more.
- Dust Mites: Dust mites are tiny arachnids that thrive in humid conditions. They commonly inhabit areas such as carpets, sofas, pillows, and cushioned furniture. Dust mites leave behind allergenic fecal material, which can become airborne and irritate your respiratory system.
- Rot & Decay: Moisture is the enemy of wood. In as little as 24-48 hours, mold and rot can start eating away at damp wood and cause significant damage to your home. Dry rot is especially serious; a mere 1% weight loss can reduce the wood's strength by 75%.
