Moisture Control
​
Mold and bacteria will grow on crawl space beams, joists and girders. If left untreated, moisture will weaken the wood, resulting in structural integrity issues and endangering your home’s foundation. Moisture control is not only a vital element of preventative pest control — it’s also key to preventing the following in your home:
​
-
Humidity
-
Structural damage
-
Health problems
-
And more
Have you been noticing mildew in your home? Wondering if your pest infestation could be the result of a moisture problem? Because many pests, including termites, love moisture and the environments created by excess moisture (i.e. damp/rotting wood), it’s important to keep your home as moisture-free as possible.
​
THE PROBLEM WITH MOISTURE IN YOUR HOME
​
THE DAMAGE TO homes and buildings caused by moisture, wood-decay fungi and the wood-destroying pests they attract can cost property owners millions of dollars every year. Excessive moisture levels and inadequate ventilation in basements, crawl spaces and attics promote the growth of wood-decay fungi. Mold and moisture unnoticed in these areas can threaten the health and safety of your property by attracting damaging pests, weakening the building’s structure and contaminating the atmosphere. Signs of a moisture problem include mildew and musty odors, peeling paint and wallpaper, wood rot or sagging floors and foundation damage.
THE SOURCE OF THE MOISTURE PROBLEM
WHEN MOISTURE BUILDS up, it is absorbed by the wood and foundation of a building. Fungi spores activate in areas of high humidity and grow root-like structures called hyphae, which break down the fibers that give wood its strength. The result is what is commonly called brown rot, dry rot and white rot. Termite infestations are also more likely in moist, un
ventilated areas. Foundation moisture, wood-decay fungi and termites can devastate to a building in just a few years.
