Mold, Dust Mites & Odors in Basements and Crawl Spaces
Controlling water and moisture problems for a comfortable, healthy home
Mold thrives in dark, moist environments where organic materials are present. This is the reason why basements and crawl spaces are perfect places for mold to grow. Dust mites also love humid environments because they absorb the water out of the air.
The problem: If you have a mold problem in your basement or crawl space, it will affect the comfort and health of your upstairs living space. Mold spores and dust mites can irritate allergies and asthma.
The solution: By fixing water leaks and drying and filtering the air in your basement or crawl space, you can prevent mold growth, eliminate dust mites and improve the health and comfort of your whole house!
