What causes Hydrometers to Un-Calibrate?

Hey everyone, got my first humidor set up about 6 months ago and things had been going great. It's got a Heartfelt bead tube in it and the humidity always stayed around 65%. Over the last month of so I noticed the humidity ramping up and it finally got too high so I took out all my cigars, sealed everything with sealant, and am now re-seasoning.

I've got the hydrometer in a bag doing the salt test right now and it is reading 88%, way high. I tested it when I first set it up and calibrated it properly.

What causes them to become un-calibrated?
