Moisture Analysis and Control

Excessive moisture is a problem in many Lowcountry homes and is the one condition that leads to fungal growth (including mold) and wood decay.  Excessive moisture in the home or crawl space also promotes termite activity, causes hardwood floors to cup and buckle, and can significantly impact the quality of the air in your home.  If you have discovered excessive moisture or believe excessive moisture has resulted in one of the items mentioned above, Air Plus can help by providing you with professional moisture control services.  After conducting an interview to discuss your concerns and learn the history of your moisture problem, we will perform an investigation to determine the source or sources of excessive moisture in your home or crawl space and develop a strategy to effectively manage those sources. 

Turnkey Solutions  If corrective measures are required to address excessive moisture, Air Plus is available to install necessary systems and equipment, thereby providing the customer wtih a comprehensive diagnosed/designed/installed solution.

Wood destroying fungus becomes active at 28-30%.  High humidity and condensation has elevated the moisture content of this floor joist (in the crawl space) to 37%.  If the excessive moisture condition is not corrected, the joists will rot to the point that they have to be replaced - at a far greater cost than that of preventative moisture control.
