Humidifiers and Mold

This is a more common problem than you may think. There are homeowners that have this exact problem lurking in their homes right now. The humidifier you see here malfunctioned, and water was able to pass through it all summer long. The mold you see here happened in less than one year.

       There are two things every homeowner should do.
  1. Replace the water pad inside the humidifier every year.
  2. Have the furnace inspected by a professional, while there ask them to look at the humidifier.
       I would recommend option #2, and I have a very good reason why. The most incorrectly installed add-on to a heating system is a humidifier. If they aren't installed properly they can malfunction, and cause problems like you see here.
