Fun Friday Fact: How Your AC System Can Impact Humidity and Water Damage (Yes, Even in Fall!)

Water Damage Under Sink

Fun Friday Fact: How Your AC System Can Impact Humidity and Water Damage (Yes, Even in Fall!)

You thought your AC was done pulling its weight for the year, huh? Not so fast! Even in the fall, your AC system is your secret weapon against unwanted moisture. And in North Houston, where humidity likes to hang around longer than the summer heat, your AC's job is never really done. 😅

AC & Humidity: Why It Still Matters

Your AC doesn’t just cool the air—it removes moisture, keeping humidity levels in check. When it’s cooler outside, we tend to use the AC less, giving moisture a free pass to sneak into your home—especially in places like under bathroom sinks. 🛁 (Yes, we’re looking at you, mysterious under-the-sink mold!)

Fun Fact: The ideal indoor humidity level is 30-50%. Anything higher, and you’re risking mold growth. And lately, we’ve seen a spike in mold growth under bathroom sinks. Guess what loves to linger there? Humidity, soap scum, and a little dust = a moldy party waiting to happen! 🍄

Don’t Let Humidity Crash Your Fall Vibe

Mold doesn’t take a vacation just because it’s fall. Here’s how to keep it at bay:

1. Run the AC: Even when it’s cool, give the AC a light run every now and then to keep moisture out of the air.

2. Check Under Your Sink: Seriously, go ahead and do it. That dark cabinet under the sink is the VIP section for mold when humidity and leaks mix.

3. Use a Dehumidifier: If you spot moisture on windows or feel that sticky air, it’s time to plug in a dehumidifier to keep things in check.

4. Wipe Down Cabinets: Wipe down under-sink cabinets regularly—especially after showers. No need to give mold a place to crash!
