It’s summer here and PuroClean of South Charlotte knows what that means - humidity! North Carolina humidity is at an all-time high in the South during the summer months. The percentage of water vapor that accumulates in the air can be anywhere from 50-70% of humidity every day.
But how much does humidity matter in my cool air-conditioned house? A lot.
Sometimes mold is not visible and does not appear to be the typical spotted gray, black, or green color. Mold can lurk behind walls and under floors; the high humidity outside doesn’t help, but we can. Call PuroClean of South Charlotte at (704) 644-8686 if you suspect mold is growing in your home as a result of high humidity.
Different kinds of mold can grow as a result of humidity if it’s higher than 55%. That’s practically every day during the summer months! Keeping your home properly ventilated, especially in areas that moisture can build up-such as the kitchen and bathrooms-is very important. Using exhaust fans or de-humidifiers while you shower or boil water in these rooms can keep mold from growing.
Keeping your home’s humidity levels low also lowers the likelihood that mold is growing. Luckily, air conditioning does most of the work for us, but if it doesn’t, call PuroClean of South Charlotte today at (704) 644-8686. We will make sure your home stays mold free!
