"I used Moving APT for our relocation to Tampa and they did a very good job both on pick up and drop off. They handled everything with care and absolutely nothing was broken or scratched. I would recommend them."
If you have the appropriate dehumidifier for the volume in your home then no, they shouldn’t be left on all day. Dehumidifiers have a motor that operates a compressor. In some ways, this is similar to a car and like a car, a dehumidifier needs periods of rest. Ideally, you would run a dehumidifier less than 45 minutes per hour with a break for 15 minutes. Still, this is the upper limit of what you should do.
Having a dry house can be unhealthy for you and the home. Excessive dryness can lead to respiratory issues, dry skin, dry or sore throats, and other problems. Additionally, any wooden furniture and the home's structure and floors can suffer from cracking and shrinking under dry indoor air conditions, leading to gaps and splits.
If you need mold remediation, you’re probably looking at a bill of a couple thousand dollars or more. Sometimes, though, your homeowner’s insurance policy may cover some or all of the costs of the remediation. If the black mold forms because of a covered event, such as a storm that damages your roof, and causes leaking or flooding in the basement, it’s possible the policy also covers mold remediation. It never hurts to ask your insurance company if it will cover the cost of black mold remediation.
Mold in a basement is harmful as it can trigger allergy symptoms, especially for those with asthma and other breathing conditions. Symptoms of mold exposure include itching, sneezing, running nose, and congestion.
Dehumidifiers do not directly remove mold or spores from the air. However, by lowering the room’s humidity, spores are less likely to flourish when landing on surfaces.
