Humidity season is upon us - this year own an air
system we guarantee to effectively dry your
basement or crawl space!
Mold and Mildew
We all know that high relative humidity in a
home is the cause for mold, mildew, and musty
smells. To alleviate this problem, you need to lower
the relative humidity (RH) in your home. Doing this in
an energy-efficient manner is also very important -
we could always run 3 or 4 dehumidifiers in our
basement or crawl space and that may do the job -
albeit expensively.
Structural Damage Caused By High RH
Especially down in crawl spaces, we see lots of
structural damage caused to homes due to high RH
and the presence of moisture. This can be avoided,
and should, as not only is it unsafe, but is extremely
costly to fix.
Home Allergens
The number one cause of allergies in the home is
from the fecal matter of dust mites - this tiny
irritant, like dust, simply moves around the home in
the air. How do we prevent this? We know that dust
mites do not drink water to survive, but rather
absorb it from the air. We also know that lowering
the RH, typically below 50%, will kill dust mites, and
thus eliminate their fecal matter.
How Can You Accomplish Lowering RH?
With a dehumidifier a powerful, yet energy-
efficient
dehumidifier. The SaniDry Air System, a
dehumidification and air filtration unit, is the right
machine. Simply set the RH level you want on the
SaniDry's dial (typically just below 50%) and your
entire home and building materials will dry out, mold
won't grow and dust mites will cease to exist.
