Moisture Control

Moisture Control in Jacksonville, NC and Surronding Areas

.A.s a homeowner, moisture problems are often the last thing on your mind — until they become an expensive surprise. Excess moisture in your home’s structure or crawl space can lead to wood rot, mold growth, and insect infestations, including termites that thrive in damp environments. Over time, high humidity levels can damage flooring, weaken your home’s foundation, and create conditions for costly repairs.

At Modern Exterminating, we specialize in identifying and eliminating moisture problems before they cause long-term damage. Our trained technicians will inspect your property, locate problem areas, and design a customized plan to reduce humidity and protect your home from future issues.

The Impact of Moisture in Your Home

Unchecked moisture does more than damage your property — it can also impact your health. Mold and mildew thrive in humid conditions, releasing spores that trigger allergic reactions, asthma, and other respiratory issues. The key to preventing mold growth is controlling moisture at its source.

 Effective Moisture Control. Fast, Lasting Results.

One of the most effective ways to control moisture is by installing a vapor barrier in your crawl space. Vapor barriers help keep humidity under control, prevent moisture from seeping into floors and walls, and even improve energy efficiency by making it easier to heat and cool your home.

Don’t wait until moisture becomes a major problem. Let Modern Exterminating inspect your home and provide a long-term solution to protect your property, your family, and your peace of mind.

We proudly serve Onslow, Carteret, Craven, Pender, Jones, and Duplin Counties across Eastern North Carolina.

How to Spot Moisture Problems

N

Damp or Musty Odors

Persistent musty smells in basements, crawl spaces, or attics can signal excess moisture. These odors often indicate mold growth or water accumulation that attracts pests and damages wood. Early detection helps protect your home’s structure and indoor air quality.

N

Warped or Swollen Wood

Moisture can cause wood to warp, swell, or crack over time. Floors, baseboards, and support beams are especially vulnerable. Identifying these changes early allows Modern Exterminating to implement moisture control measures before structural damage occurs.

N

Visible Mold or Mildew

Mold or mildew growth on walls, ceilings, or flooring is a clear sign of moisture problems. Even small patches can lead to larger infestations if not addressed promptly. Moisture control solutions prevent mold from spreading and maintain a healthy environment.

N

Standing Water or Damp Areas

Pools of water in crawl spaces, basements, or around the foundation indicate poor drainage or leaks. These areas create ideal conditions for pests and rot. Our moisture control services address the source, keeping your Jacksonville home dry and protected.
