YES! Leaks in your basement walls or foundation will increase moisture in your home and will allow mold spores to grow which will certainly irritate someone with allergies. However, the number one allergen is the fecal matter of dust mites. Dust mites don't drink water, but absorb it out of the air through their skin. In order to live, dust mites need relative humidity over 50%. Reducing the relative humidity below 50% will cause dust mites to die off.
