Look For Same Day Service

The season of moisture is spring. There is a lot of wetness associated with this time of year, between the melting of winter snow and the arrival of spring rains. Some of that moisture will inevitably find its way into your home. Although this is a possibility in the form of a flooded basement, it is an extreme scenario. More than likely, the air in certain areas of your home will feel cool and clammy. If left unattended, this can lead to more serious issues, not the least of which is the growth of mold, mildew, or fungus. That’s where a dehumidifier comes in. Homeowners need a dehumidifier more than they think, and they often do not realize how much until they turn one on and experience the notable difference. Let Morrison Plumbing step in to advise you on all the benefits of this investment.

Creates a More Pleasant Living Space

A humid environment can become extremely uncomfortable to live in. When a dehumidifier reduces the extra humidity, it can make the air in your home cooler and more comfortable! With all the benefits a dehumidifier can provide to make a healthier home, it can be considered a necessity for you to keep the indoor air balanced and safe!

Helps with Water Leakage and Flood Cleanup

Flooding and water leakage are common household problems. Using a dehumidifier to help with cleanup can cut down on the time, hassle, and stress associated with dealing with excess water. A major advantage of a dehumidifier is that it can function similarly to a vacuum cleaner by absorbing excess water and moisture to speed up the drying process! A dehumidifier not only helps with the immediate effects of flooding, but it can also help with the long-term aftereffects by preventing mold and mildew from forming. If you live in an area with a lot of rainfall and/or natural disasters involving water, a dehumidifier will definitely come in handy!

Alleviates Allergy Symptoms

Dust mites, pollen, animal or pet dander, mold, and mildew are common seasonal spring allergy triggers. Mold and mildew thrive in humid environments and can cause sneezing, stuffy or runny nose, congestion, watery eyes, dryness, and itchiness in your eyes, nose, or throat. Using a dehumidifier to reduce humidity in the air can help reduce dust and other allergy triggers in the air. This produces clean indoor air in your home. So, no more sneezing and sniffling due to spring allergies! When you’re ready to start breathing better, contact our team at Morrison Plumbing today.

Reduces Pests and Infestations

Pests may be drawn to your home for a variety of reasons. Excess humidity or moisture, according to Pest Control Services Inc., is one of the most common causes of pest infestations. This is due to the fact that pests and termites draw water from their surroundings in order to survive. You may have noticed that more insects are found in wet areas or damp environments. By chewing through damp wood, insects, termites, and other pests can easily enter your home. Even small amounts of water from the air can assist these pests in surviving for extended periods of time. A dehumidifier can help control pests by removing excess moisture from the air and creating a more balanced environment. Remove pesky pests from your home and send them packing!

Can Lower Energy Costs

Running a dehumidifier in your home can also help you save money on energy! You don’t need to run your air conditioner as frequently because dehumidifiers work to reduce humidity in the air. Furthermore, your cooling equipment does not require more energy to maintain the desired temperature level in your home. Morrison Plumbing’s dehumidifiers are energy efficient, so they use less energy while operating, saving you even more money! A dehumidifier from Morrison Plumbing is an excellent way to save money over time!
