Dealing with High Moisture Levels

May 09, 2021

If you see ice formation and condensation, it's a good sign that the relative humidity is too high. So you need to think about how to combat the situation. LGR PRO Dehumidifier is one of the devices that can help you solve the problem. 

How does condensation occur?

Condensation is caused by excess moisture. It starts with ice formation, then liquid condensation, and finally the growth of mold and mildew. High humidity can wreak havoc on stored items and products. It leads to immature refrigeration, slippage, and improper sealing. It also affects the quality of the products you store.

Ice buildup

When ice forms on buildings, doors, vents, and cold objects, it is a sign that there is excess water vapor in the air. When the temperature drops, the water vapor condenses and collects on the objects. When the coil temperature drops to the dew point, it drops below freezing. A layer of ice forms and the compressor has difficulty defrosting the coils. This can compromise the integrity of the product.

Solution

Installing the LGR PRO dehumidifier could help you control the problem. It removes more water from the air and ensures that it stays dry. It eliminates condensation and creates an environment where mold cannot survive. Problems with mold will also be a thing of the past.

Exposure to a moldy environment

If you are exposed to mold, you are at risk for a number of health problems, including asthma. Molds produce spores and other allergens that trigger breathing problems. They can also cause other complications such as mold syndrome, toxicity, sinusitis, and lung problems.

Tests for molds

- Surface tests - help to check the extent of mold growth on surfaces.

- Air tests - are performed to determine the presence and concentration of mold spores

- Bulk test - it is performed on samples from different homes

- Culture test - helps identify the type of mold that has infested your home.

How to permanently rid your home of mold

The secret to mold control is to keep humidity levels below 50%. You can easily achieve this with a dehumidifier. The device can help you keep the moisture content at a certain level. But to get the best results, you need to buy the right dehumidifier.

What to do if you are affected by water damage

Every now and then, you will be affected by water damage. Floods and burst pipes are the main causes of water damage. Flooding is a natural disaster that you may not be able to control. So the best thing you can do is to seek remediation after the damage has occurred. To get the best results, it may be necessary to hire the services of a restoration company. They have the necessary equipment to help you restore the home to its previous condition.
