We understand that the structural stability of the home refers to the strength and durability of the building “skeleton “and all materials that were used for the building, starting from the foundation, walls and weight pillars.
Making a plan on
maintaining your house’s structural stability may be more important for the future than it seems. It`s much easier to make a plan that will help you preserve the stability and strength of the house on long-term than facing issues that might involve a lot of costs by repairing or replacing things.

Watch out for water leaking
A leaking pipe, a leaking shower or toilet might be the worst problem for you. Water can be a real enemy for the entire house structure because, in time, water can lead to serious damages. Water has the power of rotting and moistening wood and growing mold all around the house. Take a close look in every room of the house and seal any cracks or spaces that might appear in the building surfaces, with a good and effective product.
Rain can produce really big damages in roofs and maybe walls too. Constantly water leaking through the roof would come down to the foundation of the house causing a lot of costly damage. Any water leaking would eventually
lead to growing mold and mildew that is bad for the house structure, but also for your health and furniture.
A whole house meter, for example, can be very effective in verifying leaks around your house. Using the water meter, you can check leaks all around the house while no other automatic water equipment is functioning, such as the washing machine, or irrigation controllers. Even though this device can detect if there is any large water leaking, it can`t detect the location of the leaking. More detailed investigations are required to detect the affected areas.

Humidity
The quality of the air has a big contribution in
maintaining a good condition of the house structure and also protecting us from developing breathing affections or allergies. Humidity can be a real big enemy for the structure of the house. A high level of heat leads to a high level of humidity that creates a good environment for mold to grow and expand. Maybe a digital hygrometer could come in handy to measure the level of humidity and temperature in the house. It’s s easy to calibrate, very accurate and can be placed anywhere in the house.
A dehumidifier could be the perfect solution in order to control and maintain a constant level of humidity in the air. It has the power to extract humidity and other impurities from the air, pushing out through its filter a clean new fresh air.
For a big house, would be recommended a whole house dehumidifier. It can assure the whole house comfort by
keeping the air dry even for specific moisture problem areas. This device is energy-efficient, owning a high-performance blower fan that can be very useful while trying to maintain the perfect level of humidity inside the entire house.

Cool air
Cooling can be one of our major concerns when it comes to the condition of our home’s structure.
Temperature fluctuations are bad for the environment and also for the health. Today`s market offers us plenty of options to choose from, depending on how many rooms we have or how big they are. If you want to avoid wall modification, it`s better to use a window unit, it doesn`t involve big costs and it`s very efficient having a big cooling power.
The benefits of using an air conditioner are many, especially in the summertime when the heat is high and the humidity level raises unexpectedly fast. It gives you a great quality of air, it cleans all the dirt from the air
so you can breathe clean and fresh air, and also keeps away parasites and insects that could damage the wood.

Hybrid cooling
The hybrid cooling system can provide two cooling techniques in only one system, reducing annual water consumption. Preserving a good condition of the house structure is important to keep away rot and mold. So, in this case, the hybrid cooling may be a good solution to do that on long-term. This kind of system can reduce a lot of water consumption and operates efficiently in any weather conditions. A properly hybrid cooling system (offers) uses little energy consumption and has a big coefficient of performance no matter the climate.
Hybrid systems provide both wet and dry cooling methods in only one compact and non-expensive unit. The hybrid products offer low process temperatures while optimizing energy consumption and water efficiency.
