3 Ways To Battle Water Overflow

8/13/2019 (Permalink)

Moisture and water at home are sometimes two things that don’t necessarily mix well, and can be synonymous with a disaster at any time during the year! Especially when it comes to your home’s moisture, keeping it within a comfortable region becomes imperative, and there are a few ways to be able to do so. See below for some tips, tricks and items to use to prevent water and moisture from overcrowding your home!

Fans

It’s important to turn on your exhaust fan (if you own one) whose sole job is to pull air & moisture out of your home.Many bathrooms and other rooms that have water fixtures are equipped with these, and they can realistically be used for many surrounding rooms as well! Keeping them on during a shower or cleaning day can help draw moisture and chemical gases out of your home, keeping both your family and home safe!

Dehumidifiers Work Wonders

Humidity can cause peeling paint, swelling floor tiles, and many more things that are just plain painful to see and have to fix. This ALSO increases the chance of mold forming, which is the cause of stagnant moisture. We can assure you that short of other destructive damage, moisture and mold are the last things you want to endure at home. Make sure you’re keeping humidity levels in check throughout the rooms that may be exposed to excess.

Watch Your Carpets

Carpet can sometimes be the cost-effective solution to many other flooring options -- which is never an issue! But what can be the issue however, is that carpet is highly absorbent and can lead to moisture and mold buildup very easily. We’re going out on a limb in assuming that tearing up carpet and cleaning mold damage isn’t the way you thought you’d be spending your gorgeous Saturday afternoons.
