ODD ODORS IN YOUR HOME

SIGNS OF UNHEALTHY AIR 

"There is this musty smell in my basement and I just can't find it. I don't know what to do but I think it has to do with the puddle in the basement."

If something has a musty smell by definition it means; having a stale, moldy, or damp smell. So when someone calls our office with a musty smell it is pretty assured they have a moisture problem that needs to be addressed. This was definitely the case in this home.

Moisture from the foundation of this basement and the high humidity created a perfect environment for mold to grow. Not only was the family breathing in mold every time they went into their basement, that same moldy air was also traveling up into the main living section of the home. Up to 50% of the air your family breathes comes from the lower levels of the home due to the stack effect. We are breathing in whatever lives in our basement or crawlspace. Breathing in these mold spores can create immediate and lasting effects on you and your family. Some people are more affected than others, but children are more susceptible to the respiratory effects of mold. 

Here are just a few of the several negative effects of mold in the home. More severe issues include; asthma, hair loss, memory loss, and can lead to death. Our patented WaterGuard system collects the water coming into the foundation and takes it to a sump pump so that it does not destroy your home or possessions. 

Don't let mold harm your home or your family. Call us today for a free inspection to make sure you are protected. 

To protect your homes air, we offer a duel system for optimal air health; SaniDry dehumidifier and the Aspen Air Purifier.
