High humidity on main floor, who to call to assess?
Hey folks, just looking for input on who I can call to assess why my home has been experiencing high humidity lately, particularly on the main floor. Some background, my home is a semi-detached bungalow (1957 build) with a finished basement, shingles were replaced in July 2018 and no humidity issues.
Just only the last 2 months the humidity has gone up and stays between 50-60%. This is worrisome for me as the temperature has dipped the past few weeks and it still remains this high. I bought a dehumidifier last week and for the basement it is working, but for the main floor the lowest it has gone is 38% and then back up to 50% within a couple of hours. Prior to the dehumidifier, I was pumping the AC and it wouldn't go below 45% and still mainly stays around 50%-55% still. There is no condensation on the windows but I do notice the floors are a little sticky.
Just wondering who I can call to get this checked out. My home runs on a condensation pump so everything goes through a tube and out. In the winter when its extreme cold, I rely on the humidifier to run to keep the tube from freezing the water line. So with the humidity high my humidifier won't be turning on.
