Moisture is a common issue in homes, apartments, and vehicles. While it may seem harmless at first glance, prolonged exposure to excess humidity can lead to serious health and material consequences. Understanding the sources of moisture and how to effectively counteract it is essential.

Common Causes of Moisture

Moisture arises from an excess of water vapor in the air that cannot escape from a room or vehicle. The most frequent causes include:

• – Inadequate Ventilation: especially in bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms, where humidity levels are naturally higher.
• – Temperature Differences: for example, in winter, when warm indoor air meets cold window surfaces, leading to condensation.
• – Leaks in Buildings and Vehicles: leaky roofs, windows, or damaged seals are common sources of moisture.
• – Daily Household Activities: cooking, bathing, and drying clothes on radiators all increase humidity levels.
• – Overly Sealed Windows and Doors: these limit natural air flow and encourage moisture accumulation.

Why Addressing Moisture Is Important

Excess moisture is not just an aesthetic problem (fogged windows, wall stains); it poses significant risks to health and comfort:

• – Development of mold and fungi
• – Exacerbation of allergies and respiratory issues
• – Damage to furniture, fabrics, electronics, and interior furnishings
• – Unpleasant odors in enclosed spaces and vehicles

Tips for Combating Excess Moisture

• – Ensure Proper Ventilation: Open windows and doors several times a day to allow air exchange. Avoid overly tight thermal insulation that hinders moisture escape. Consider installing fans or heat recovery ventilators to remove excess water vapor from kitchens, bathrooms, or laundry rooms.
• – Use Dehumidifying Devices: If ventilation is insufficient or you have moisture problems in basements or garages, consider using dehumidifying devices like EcoVentis moisture absorbers. A full range is available here.
• – Protect Walls and Foundations from Moisture: If moisture penetrates through walls or floors from the ground, ensure proper building insulation. Use special hydrophobic preparations, insulation foils, or roofing felt. Regularly clean and repair gutters and downspouts to prevent leaks and wall flooding.
• – Remove Mold and Fungi from Walls and Ceilings: If you notice dark spots or growths on walls or ceilings, it’s a sign of mold or fungi. These are not only unsightly but also hazardous to health. First, eliminate the moisture source, then clean and disinfect the affected surfaces using specialized chemicals or home remedies like vinegar, baking soda, or hydrogen peroxide. After removal, consider painting walls with anti-fungal or anti-mold paint.
