Indoor Air Quality:
Excess Water

Excess Water

Moisture and humidity provide a breeding ground for this terrible trio: mold, mildew, and mites. All can induce or aggravate asthma as well as cause eye, nose, and throat irritation, shortness of breath, dizziness, drowsiness, and fever.

What to do:

  • Be sure to fix plumbing, roof, and window leaks right away, and repair your basement if it is damp or if you see standing water.
  • Use exhaust fans and a dehumidifier if necessary.
