Mold on Wood Mold has been an epidemic with wet basements and damp crawl spaces since the very beginning. It accumulates on anything organic in a basement, including wood, carpeting, drywall, organic ceiling tiles, cloth, paper, cardboard, and all other organic material. Year-round, it sends its spores into the basement and crawl space air, where they rise up and eventually reach your home. Meanwhile, the household mold is spreading and deepening its hold in your basement, rotting everything and causing damage to the wood in your home.

Mold spores can cause and agitate a variety of health-related problems, including congestion, headache, difficulty breathing and agitated asthma and allergies. Some molds are even toxic! If you’ve let your mold get bad enough that you can feel the difference, you’ve waited too long.

Dust Mites

Tens of millions of people suffer from allergies in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, and the number has been increasing rapidly in the last 20 years. With many indoor air pollutant levels ranked 2-5 times higher than levels measured outdoors the Environmental Protection Agency lists these pollution levels as one of the top five risks to public health. Of these pollutants, dust mites are a scourge. Dust mite waste is responsible for 80%-90% of the allergens found in household dust. Take a few minutes to learn what’s lurking in your home!

Crawl Space and Basement Humidity

Mold and dust mites need moist air to survive. By lowering your humidity levels below 60%, you can create an environment in your home that most mold and dust mites will not be able to thrive and reproduce in. We recommend a powerful dehumidifier that can keep dry air circulating around the basement or crawl space to help prevent mold and kill dust mites.

We can offer you an energy-efficient dehumidifier that can drain humidity away from your living space without the need for you to empty any collection trays or perform contestant maintenance. Basement System’s SaniDry crawl space and basement dehumidifier is Energy Star rated, and it also includes an air filtration system. It’s capable of removing particles from the air as small as two microns- that’s smaller than hair, pollen, dust mites, dust mite waste, and most mold spores!
