Signs of Moisture in Your Home
Moisture is a concern for homeowners and can cause damage to the structure of your home if not addressed. Signs of moisture may include peeling paint, musty odors, mildew, crumbling floor joists, even rotting.
Thompson Brothers can help you identify and correct moisture problems you may find in your home. The following items can help protect your home against excessive moisture—as long as they are properly maintained.
- Gutters - Keep them clean and debris free.
- Plants - Should not block crawl space vents.
- Heating and Cooling Ducts - Insulate all exposed ducts.
You also may want to keep your foundation vents open year-round, except if you need to close them in the winter to help prevent frozen water pipes.
Call us today for a moisture assessment of your home. We will design and recommend a program to meet your specific needs. Our process includes cleaning out the space, installing a moisture-blocking barrier and, if necessary, installing a dehumidifier.
If we find wood damage due to moisture during our inspection, we can not only solve your moisture problem, but we can repair any damaged wood.
