- Failure to reduce moisture and humidity can present serious long-term health risks. If there is too much moisture in the air, materials never fully dry. They become a breeding ground for microorganisms, such as viruses, bacteria, and mold. They can cause disease, trigger allergic reactions, and continue to damage materials long after the flood, including fostering wood rot. This kind of high level humidity and moist materials provide an ideal environment for the growth of microorganisms. Coming into contact with air or water that contains these microorganisms can make a person sick. Long-term high levels of humidity can foster growth of dust mites, which can cause asthma and trigger allergic reactions and asthma attacks.
