When your home is suffering damp a good option would be to use a moisture absorber.
If you decide to purchase one there are a number of areas you need to consider.
Combating moisture in your home
Damp indoor air conditions are usually caused by too much moisture in the air or soil near a home and can cause multiple issues for homeowners. Not only can too much moisture cause damp and unsightly patches on walls and furniture but it can also lead to mould on the walls inside your home. To avoid the health and structural problems caused by excess moisture in the air, using a simple moisture absorber is an excellent, easy-to-use solution.
Do you need a moisture absorber?
Before deciding on the best moisture absorber for your home you need to establish whether you have a problem and to what degree. Here are some useful questions to ask when evaluating the moisture levels at home:
- Does your home have a damp or musty smell? This will be worse during winter but may be noticeable all year round
- Is there visible damp or mould on the walls, ceiling or even on fabrics and books in the home?
- Are the members of your household suffering from allergies or respiratory problems like hay fever or asthma? These may be cause by damp and invisible mould or mildew spores in the air
