WillFix Research – A Damp Basement Is a Health Hazard
Protecting your basement from moisture is crucial to avoid health issues. High humidity levels are perfect conditions for the development of many potentially dangerous organisms.
Insects
A variety of bugs can make your damp and dark basement their home, including:
- Centipedes (Chilopoda);
- Earwigs (Dermaptera);
- Millipedes (Diplopoda);
Some insects may spread diseases, and we doubt you’ll feel comfortable sharing a house with them.
Mould
Mould spreads rapidly, often appearing within 24-48 hours in wet basements:
- Dark-hued brown mould (Stachybotrys);
- Pale, dry mould (Aspergillus);
- Black mould (Stachybotrys);
The presence of mould in your home is concerning, because it causes different health issues.
Allergies
Basement-related allergies can range from being barely noticeable to profoundly distressing:
- Sneezing and/or coughing;
- Constant headaches;
- Anaphylaxis and difficulty breathing.
A damp basement might not only initiate allergic reactions in some but could also be the root cause of developing new allergies.
