Humidity and Mold
Mold needs relative humidity above 60 percent to grow. In Katy, outdoor humidity frequently exceeds 80 percent. Any moisture intrusion into building cavities creates ideal mold conditions within hours.
Condensation Problems
Cold surfaces including air conditioning pipes, concrete slabs, and metal components condense humidity from warm indoor air. This condensation feeds mold and causes rust and deterioration.
Wood Swelling and Movement
High humidity causes wood to absorb moisture and distort. Hardwood floors cup, doors stick, and framing can warp without proper HVAC management.
Your HVAC as Primary Defense
A properly sized, well-maintained AC system maintains indoor relative humidity between 40 and 60 percent. Oversized units cool quickly without running long enough to adequately dehumidify.
