Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Humidity problem solved in Woodfin basement and crawl space

As summer starts in the south one thing is true, it is going to be humid. The south is known for the heat and humidity that makes everyone feel as if they’re walking around in water. This humidity can cause increased temperatures, sweating, and frizzy hair. Although those problems are obvious, there are some not so obvious effects of this humidity. Air is always coming into your home because as warm air rises, it causes a negative pressure on the basement or crawl space that pulls in air from the bottom. This southern humid air is then pulled into your home resulting in condensation and high moisture levels. Although many not might think much about it, having high moisture levels in the basement or crawl space can ruin insulation, floor, foundation, and cause mold.                 To solve this problem of moisture and humidity would be to install a dehumidifier that pulls moisture out of the air and flushes it from the area. We at All-Dry of the Carolinas offers one of the best dehumidifiers on the market, The Aprilaire 1850. This brand of dehumidifier can cover up to 3000 Square feet of area. These dehumidifiers are created for long term protection and come with a 5 year warranty.                 Take it a step further to protect your home from moisture by encapsulating the entire space. Encapsulation works as a seal for the basement or crawl space to keep moisture that is coming from the ground out of the air. At All-Dry of the Carolinas we offer a product called CleanSpace which is our 20 mil-thick-liner that is placed on the floor, walls, and piers of the basement or crawl space. CleanSpace works to lower humidity, mold growth, heating, and cooling prices.                 The Aprilaire 1850 and CleanSpace work together to keep humidity and moisture from damaging your home.
