How Do I Know if My House Has Too Much Humidity

How do I know if my house has too much humidity? We get many requests from homeowners on how to test, measure, or check humidity. Most are only concerned about humidity in the summer but homes can suffer humidity issues in the spring, fall, and winter as well.

What are the Best Humidity Levels

We have done several videos and articles about what humidity levels are best for the average home. In most cases, keeping humidity between 45 percent and 55 percent is optimal. Keeping humidity levels in check may require a dehumidifier and a humidifier depending on the time of year.

Monitoring humidity can be done with handheld devices used by professionals like Crawl Space Ninja and other waterproofers. These moisture meters only show a snapshot in time. Other moisture meters and hygrometers are better for year-round monitoring.
