IAQ and Air Cleaners

For many of us the spring time brings much awaited warmer temps and green grass, but the spring time also tends to bring water with it too. From melting snow to April showers spring seems to be the wettest time of year for much of the United States.

Unfortunately for many homeowners that water can end up in our basements or crawlspaces causing not only physical damage to the house, but it can also lead to very unhealthy situations. Moisture that seeps into your home, or under your home in the case of a crawlspace, can cause mold and mildew growth as well as that nasty smell and sticky feeling the moisture causes.

If you have a leaky basement you should call a trusted basement remediation specialist and have them survey your situation. Often times they can make some very affordable fixes that will end your problems. But don't just fix the leaks, fix the air quality of your basement or crawlspace as well and get yourself an Aprilaire Model 1710 portable deh Aprilaire Dehumidifier umidifier.

The Model 1710 dehumidifier is a 90 pint per day unit that is much more efficient and durable then the regular units you see at the big box stores. It can remove moisture from the air down to 40 degrees and comes with a 5 year bumper to bumper warranty. For those of you who have ever bought one of the portable dehumidifiers from a big box store you know that if you can get a summer or two out of it before it stops working you got lucky.

Remember if your basement or crawlspace has too much humidity and is unhealthy so is the rest of your home.
