Mold & Dust Mites Love Humid Basements!
Dust mites and mold thrive in warm, dark and damp spaces. As basements are naturally more exposed to moisture than other parts of the home, once Relative Humidity levels reach or exceed 60%, it creates an inviting environment for dust mites and mold to develop.
Although these issues might not be immediately apparent, they can pose a serious threat for the health and well-being of those living in the home. Dust mites droppings and mold spores are known to be highly allergenic and can affect you and your family with respiratory issues and allergies, since the contaminated air in the basement will naturally flow upward to the rest of the living space. A wet basement left untreated impacts the safety of the whole property.
Get Rid of Smells & Allergens by Getting Rid of Moisture!
The best way to prevent dust mites and mold from growing and contaminating the air in your home is to control your humidity levels. Running a quality dehumidifier in your basement helps keep relative humidity levels below 60%, drying out any existing dust mites and mold and preventing them from growing or settling in.
Once the source of contamination is dealt with, the air inside your basement will no longer be affected by spores and other impurities, remaining fresh, healthy and safe for your entire family.
