Comfort is a priority when talking about indoor air quality.
Excess moisture can be obvious when you see condensation on windows, or it literally feels like a jungle when you open the door to your basement.
But even if you haven’t reached jungle-status, there may still be more than enough moisture hiding in the crawlspace or basement of your home.
Moisture won’t stay behind the basement door. It will eventually move to the rest of your home, carrying odors, contributing to poor indoor air quality and making it uncomfortable for your family. Studies show that as much as 50 percent of the air in a home comes from these below-grade areas.
One of the most effective ways to control dampness and odors due to high humidity in basements is by using a dehumidifier. We use one a Santa Fe dehumidifier in our basement, and it has removed the jungle from our basement workshop.
The Handiest Man in the World agrees. And, yes, the bed of nails is real.
