Uncovered Moist Soil Ground
Crawl spaces need to be encapsulated especially if they have a soil ground, because moisture can come up through the ground and into your space.
Wood Moisture Content
Readings from 20-28% indicate borderline decay and often show signs of surface mold growing. Don't let excessive moisture ruin your wood supporting joists and cause bouncy floors in your home!
Relative Humidity
Mold, mold spores, and dust mites thrive at any RH level over 60%. Our SaniDry Dehumidifier offers a mess-free way to keep your space's RH below 55%! If your levels are high and you suffer from sneezing and itchy eyes indoors, it may be from these allergens!
