Excess moisture in a basement can impact your health and wellness by creating poor air quality. Breathing unhealthy air can disrupt your sleep, make you lethargic, and trigger any asthma and allergies.
In your home, excess moisture can permanently damage your belongings. It also leads to damage from mold and mildew growth, and pest infestations from moisture-loving insects like termites.
We take indoor air quality very seriously and that is why we install AprilAire’s systems. The AprilAire basement dehumidifier was recognized as ENERGY STAR Most Efficient For 2022. These systems are designed for convenience for the home owner and are backed by long term warranties.
Basement dehumidification is a process aimed at controlling and reducing excess humidity levels in the lower levels of a building, particularly in basements. Basements are prone to high humidity due to factors like inadequate ventilation, lack of sunlight, and potential water seepage. Dehumidification involves the use of specialized equipment known as dehumidifiers, which extract moisture from the air, effectively lowering humidity levels. These devices work by drawing in moist air, cooling it to condense the moisture, and then releasing the drier air back into the space. By maintaining optimal humidity levels, typically between 30% and 50%, basement dehumidification helps prevent mold growth, minimize musty odors, and protect stored items from moisture-related damage. It is a crucial step in ensuring a healthier and more comfortable indoor environment while also safeguarding the structural integrity of the building by mitigating the risks associated with excess moisture.
