What are the Signs of High Humidity in Your Home?

Humidity issues often start in the basement or crawl space, but the effects can travel throughout the entire house. Here are the common signs to watch for:

  • Condensation on windows or pipes
  • A persistent musty smell, especially in lower levels
  • Visible mold or mildew on walls, ceilings, or belongings
  • Warped wood flooring or furniture
  • Peeling paint or bubbling wallpaper
  • Uncomfortable, sticky indoor air
  • Frequent allergy symptoms or respiratory irritation

What Happens If You Don’t Take Action ASAP?

Ignoring excess humidity can put your home and health at risk. Moisture buildup creates the perfect environment for mold, which can grow quickly and damage walls, furniture, insulation, and flooring. Mold also releases spores that may trigger asthma, allergies, or chronic respiratory problems.

On top of that, excessive humidity can weaken your home’s structure over time. Wood begins to rot, metal fixtures corrode, and building materials lose their integrity. If you’ve invested in finishing your basement, moisture damage can ruin that investment.

And let’s not forget the impact on your wallet. High humidity makes it harder for your HVAC system to cool your home, leading to higher energy bills.

At Northeast Basement Solutions, we specialize in tackling indoor humidity at its source. Whether it’s groundwater, poor ventilation, or past water damage, we identify the issue and provide targeted solutions.

Dehumidifiers

Our commercial-grade dehumidifiers are built to handle the challenging conditions of basements and crawl spaces. These systems quietly and efficiently extract moisture from the air, helping you avoid condensation, mold, and discomfort.

Allergen Solutions

Humidity often nurtures allergens such as dust mites, mold spores, and mildew. By reducing moisture levels, we help limit the conditions that trigger allergy flare-ups and breathing issues, especially in vulnerable family members like children

Waterproofing

Whether you’re dealing with cracks in your foundation, water pooling in the corners, or damp walls, our waterproofing solutions block water before it becomes a problem. We offer interior and exterior methods to suit the needs of your home.

Other Basement Issues We Offer

Beyond humidity and moisture control, we provide a range of basement services to improve your home’s comfort, function, and value:

Basement Waterproofing

This is the first step to keeping your basement dry long term. We install sump pumps, drainage systems, and barrier solutions to stop water from seeping in through the foundation or walls.

Sump Pumps

Our sump pump systems provide fast, automatic water removal during storms or high groundwater conditions. We also install battery backup pumps, so your system continues working.

Crawl Space

Crawl spaces are highly vulnerable to moisture buildup and poor air circulation. We offer encapsulation, vapor barriers, drainage, and insulation services to keep these areas clean and dry.

Basement Finishing

Thinking about transforming your basement into a usable living space? We can help you finish it with moisture control in mind, so you don't have to worry about future water damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need a dehumidifier or full waterproofing?
If the air in your basement feels damp but you don’t see standing water, a dehumidifier might be the right fit. If you notice water entering through the walls or the floor, waterproofing is likely necessary.
Will a dehumidifier be enough to stop mold?
Dehumidifiers help stop new mold from growing by reducing moisture. If mold is already present, we may recommend mold remediation services to clean the affected area first.
How long does installation take?
Most of our systems can be installed in one day. Larger or more complex projects may take longer, depending on your home’s needs.
Are your systems energy efficient?
Yes, we use high-performance units that are designed to manage humidity while minimizing energy use.
Can I use a store-bought dehumidifier instead?
Store-bought units are often too small for basement or crawl space use. Our systems are specifically built for larger, moisture-heavy environments and run with fewer interruptions.

The sump pump installation was done as a first step of a larger basement remodel project. The job was done quickly, done right, and the team made sure to explain what they were doing and why at every step, including a run through of how the system worked and what to expect once it was in. I have since hired Northeast Basement Solutions to do the full project and am having the same good experience thus far. Highest recommendation

Mark and Miguel are A+ professionals! We used Northeast Basement Solutions for a foundation issue in our new home. They not only came in with a very reasonable quote, they started on the project quickly and took the time to educate us on several things we asked about. They were very responsive and communicated every step of the way. We will definitely be calling them for future waterproofing work. Thanks Northeast!

...We had a dark and moldy basement that is now a bright and clean home gym. They removed all the carpeting, moldy drywall, broken doors, old and broken ceiling lights and old and broken ceiling tiles and replaced everything with new and updated materials. They corrected some old, improperly wired electric stuff and insulated spots that were previously lacking insulation...We'll be enjoying this space as we never have before and are really thankful we were able to work with N.E. Basement!
