In addition to suffering from constant symptoms of allergies, you may want to consider a dehumidifier if you have some obvious signs of high humidity in certain rooms or areas of your home, including:
-- Water stains on the walls or ceilings of your home
-- High humidity rooms with poor ventilation or no ventilation (especially in areas like bathrooms that have no windows)
-- Frequent condensation on the windows in certain areas of your home
-- Small black spots (mold spores) growing on the walls or in areas with high humidity, such as the bathtub or shower
-- Must or mildew smells
You may also want to consider a dehumidifier if you live in an apartment building, since mold and mildew spores can travel through ventilation systems, and can build up in the walls between apartments. Even if you keep your living area clean, these allergens from other areas of the building can be harmful to yours and your family’s health.
