Control Indoor Residential Humidity

Exhaust Fans

Kitchen and bathroom exhaust fans are there for a reason. Use them when cooking or showering to direct moisture outside of the home. These fans can also help mitigate humidity in a home interior during exceptionally high humidity levels. This habit alone can mitigate a significant amount of moisture in your home. Considering the importance of this one simple home system, ensure your exhaust fans are functional. Should they stop working, don’t ignore the issue. Have them repaired as quickly as possible.

Ventilation

A tightly sealed building envelope is ideal for energy efficiency and protection from moisture intrusion. Unfortunately, that incredibly helpful protection can also trap elements that need to exit the home. Breathing causes the moisture. Cooking and showering create vapor that condenses, and everything from cleaning counters to securing our hairstyle employs chemicals sprayed into the air. Ventilation is the way to remove these trapped pollutants from a home.

The ideal ventilation system for your home may include operating fans regularly with open windows or installing an energy recovery ventilator. The team at Innovative Construction Solutions can inspect your home and suggest and implement the most appropriate ventilation solution.

Dehumidifier

The ideal humidity within a home should range from 40-60%. If other efforts fail, a humidifier, installed as part of your ductwork system or as a stand-alone unit, can accomplish this goal for you.

Why It Matters

Extended humidity within your home is expected in this remarkable part of the world! Trade-offs, right? Sure, humidity is a given, but if you allow it to linger for an extended period, the results will be devastatingly expensive: buckled and warped flooring, peeling paint, mold and mildew, frame corrosion, etc.

Innovative Construction Solutions specializes in offering answers to problems like these. We will find the source of excess humidity and stop it—whether that means repairing a leak, improving ventilation, or installing a dehumidifier. Rather than take a wait-and-see approach to your home’s and your family’s health, reach out to our team today.

Kudos to all that waterproofed our home during the exterior renovation. Despite being on the beach, with Hurricane Irma’s 130 MPH winds, and many windows and doors which we did not have a chance to cover, no water came in the house! Also, it appears that we suffered no structural damage of any kind. Thanks again for your attention to detail and quality work!

Dave & Brenda Pelizzon

Just a quick note to thanks you guys for building a great house for Debbie and me. We came through Hurricane Irma in great shape. We were reflecting how fortunate we were to have such a professional construction team. Thanks for your time and patience in building a truly beautiful well constructed home.

Your team resolved quite a few problems in my previously renovated 1950s built home. They resolved everything from air conditioning issues to insulation problems to gas and water leaks. They fixed problems other people could not even find.

As new homeowners in Naples we had scheduled projects – generator install, gutters, as well as unscheduled events – the main AC unit breaking down with a difficult fix. Dave Raffa handled it all in a very calm, professional and extremely competent manner. Dave is truly outstanding – thorough, responsive, knowledgeable, positive, professional, great attention to detail – all in all he is a real pleasure to work with. Bryce Alexis was our initial contact and he was terrific. We are impressed with the entire Innovative Team!
