| When damp air builds up, your home or basement can become a breeding ground for mold. Mold growth is linked to musty odors and serious health problems in some individuals. In today’s energy-efficient and airtight homes dampness and high humidity are more common than ever.
This lack of airflow can result in the buildup of mold spores, tobacco smoke, dust particles, pet dander, and other airborne contaminants that are then circulated over and over again throughout your home. These pollutants can be especially concentrated in cold and hot weather when windows are shut and heaters and air conditioners are running.
