High humidity levels, condensation and mould growths, not only cause damage to internal decoration and the fabric of the building itself, but also constitutes a health risk to the occupants.
Humid conditions provide an ideal breeding ground for the house dust mite, which infests bedding, carpets and soft furnishings. This unwelcome creature is considered to be a primary cause of asthma and other allergies. It is widely believed that indoor air pollutants play an important role in the development of sensitisation and subsequent triggering of asthma symptoms.
