Summer in the Carolinas brings sunshine, long days—and high humidity levels that can wreak havoc on your home’s health. While warm weather may be great for outdoor activities, it also creates the perfect storm of conditions for mold, mildew, and hidden moisture problems.

When allergy symptoms hit, most people look to pollen, pet dander, or dust mites as the likely offenders. But what if the real source of your family’s sneezing, coughing, or itchy eyes isn’t inside your living room—but beneath your feet?
