The Solution
There are three things that destroy organic materials in general, and wood in particular: water, heat and ultra-violet radiation. Of these, water is by far the most important.
Water leaks, moisture, or high humidity levels in a home are a very bad idea. And water vapor moves easily upwards into the house environment. A damp environment is very unhealthy and destructive. Mold thrives and reproduces by producing airborne spores by the millions, and some molds are toxic. Insects and critters of all kinds love damp environments and wet materials. Rot and decay occur in damp environments causing structural damage.
The natural airflow in a house is from bottom to top. This sucks the moist air and everything in it up into the living areas of the home.
Mold spores, odors, humidity and critters create a very unhealthy environment for people. Many people are allergic to these things, and experience a host of symptoms and don't realize that their dirt crawl space is affecting their health.
By stopping water leaks and removing humidity from the air these things can be prevented. Talk to your local Basement Systems Dealer or CleanSpace Installer for a Free Inspection and Estimate to find out how to solve these problems in your home.
