When you leave your home for an extended period of time high humidity can be a problem if you don’t take the time to prevent its unpleasant consequences. A high level of humidity will cause mold and mildew, wet patches on walls, wood rot and the slow deterioration of your home. It can also be a source of allergic reactions and difficulty in breathing. Dust, mites and musty odors will also become an ongoing problem apart from making the air a lot warmer than it actually is. No one wants to come home and find it in this state, which is why a good quality moisture absorber in your home can go a long way in solving these problems associated with excess humidity.
