Humidity: Causes and Solutions

Cause: Water vapor in poorly ventilated spaces condenses on cold surfaces, creating humidity.
Solution: Ventilate and use dehumidifiers.

Cause: Water penetrating external walls due to cracks or poor waterproofing.
Solution: Repair cracks and ensure good external waterproofing.

Cause: Moisture from the soil is absorbed by the walls.
Solution: Improve insulation in foundations and use moisture barriers.

  1 Open the windows frequently: Renewing the air helps maintain temperature and prevent humidity.

  2 Ensure good thermal insulation: Well-insulated walls and windows prevent heat loss and condensation.

  3 Isolate damp rooms: Close doors and air out kitchens and bathrooms after use.

  4 Check for leaks: Consider hiring a professional to analyze possible leaks. To sell your home quickly, having the property free from moisture increases its attractiveness. Speak to our team to find out more here.

  5 Use absorbent pads in closets: Ideal for small, poorly ventilated rooms.

  6 Use dehumidifiers: Excellent option for reducing humidity in environments prone to condensation.

  7 Dry clothes outside: Prevents indoor drying from increasing humidity levels.

  8 Choose suitable plants: Some plants absorb more moisture, ideal for indoor environments.

These practices help create a healthy environment and contribute to the long-term value of the property.

Plants that Help Fight Humidity:

• Peace lily (Spathiphyllum wallisii): Absorbs excess moisture, eliminates fungal spores and purifies the air.

  • Lemon tree (Citrus limon): Absorbs moisture and purifies the air.

  • Laurel (Laurus nobilis): Absorbs moisture and regulates the microclimate of the house.

  • Spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum): Absorbs moisture and eliminates impurities from the air.

  • English ivy (Hedera helix): Helps reduce humidity and improves air quality.

  • American Fern (Nephrolepis exaltata): Absorbs moisture and purifies the air.

  • Mother-in-law's tongue (Sansevieria trifasciata): Absorbs pollutants and moisture, ideal for humid areas.

 • Orchid (Orchidaceae): Absorbs moisture and helps cool the house.
