Dust Mites:


Black Mold:


Rust:

This Arachnid lives in carpets, furniture, and bedding.  They are a known cause of allergies and asthma, especially in young children and the elderly.  The EHSO recommends a good air filter and maintaining relative humidity below 50% in your home.


This toxic organism is linked to deaths from respiratory bleeding, asthma, and bronchitis.  Moisture is essential for mold growth and can be found in basement walls, floors, and ceilings.  According to the CDC, reducing relative humidity levels to 50% or below can greatly reduce the possibility of black mold growth.


Oxidation occurs when oxygen comes in contact with certain metals.  The main catalyst for the rusting process is moisture.  Rust found on structural supports such as steel "I" beams can compromise the structural integrity of a home.  The solutions is to reduce the moisture levels in your home through proper dehumidification.

How does the air in your basement and crawlspce affect the air in your home?

•    The American Lung Association, American Medical Association, and the EPA recommend maintaing relative humidity in the 30%-50% range.
•    Ventilation and air conditioning alone cannot protect your home from the damaging results caused by high relative humidity.
•    When air stays above 60% relative humidity, mold, mildew, and bacteria growth is stimulated.

•    50% of the air in your home comes from your basement or crawlspace.
•    Air coming from a basement or cracwlspace is high in humidity.
•    This air carries with it various allergens, mold, mildew, and musty odors.
