Humidity in the basement: a real scourge in summer

In summer, controlling humidity in the basement is essential. Indeed, temperatures and heavy rain promote humidity at this level. In addition, it is possible for warm air from outside to rush in. Condensation will then settle on cold surfaces. All of this can cause more or less serious problems. Mold could proliferate. The situation can easily become tricky.

Beyond the unsightly appearance, mold is harmful to health. It promotes allergies. It can also cause various respiratory problems. It is important to ensure that it has not taken hold. Concretely, potential sources of humidity are regularly monitored. Water leaks, infiltrations and condensation are closely monitored. The drainage system around the house must also be operational and efficient.
