Maintain the Proper Humidity Levels in Your Home
We are now in the season of high humidity. Moisture control is an important part of our solution towards creating a healthy basement / crawl space. Removing the excess moisture in your basement will keep humidity down, reducing odors, and limiting the growth of mold. A size-able amount of air you breathe comes from your basement upstairs comes up from below your first floor.
The health of the home is greatly affected by the basement and or crawl space.
Most people spend as much as 12 hours a day in their homes. Since the 1970s, homes have been built increasingly airtight to save on energy reducing the amount of air exchange. Airtight (Energy Efficient) homes have drawn more attention to all of the pollutants a basement or crawl space has to offer through what we call “stack effect” .
Stack effect is the movement of air that is driven by differential pressure.(indoor to outdoor air density) The greater the thermal / pressure difference and the height of the structure, the greater the stack effect.
Increased Risk of Health Problems Studies have shown that people who occupy damp buildings are at an increased risk of health problems.
Indoor Air Pollution
Facts and statistics regarding your health and your home’s indoor air quality, according to the EPA and the WHO.
Facts: Studies have shown that the air in our homes can be even more polluted than outdoor air. According to the WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION, half of buildings in the United States are water damaged leading to the growth of mold and the potential for mold illness.
- You spend about 90% of your time indoors.
- The quality of indoor air can be two to five times more polluted than the worst outside air.
- Over the years, there has been an increase in the number of children with severe allergies and asthma.
- Indoor High Humidity promotes the mold growth
THE EPA HAS RANKED INDOOR AIR POLLUTION AMONG THE TOP FIVE ENVIRONMENTAL DANGERS.
