Problem vs. Solution: Basement and Crawl Space Moisture and Mold

Two factors that go hand in hand in making your home unsafe and unhealthy are moisture and mold. Continue below to find out what is causing these problems and how we can help you fix them.

The Problem: Moisture

It is important to understand that excessive moisture can cause mold. A wet basement or crawlspace can lead to damage of your drywall, storage, furniture, and anything else you have, costing you thousands of dollars in damage. 

The Solution: CleanSpace

By installing a CleanSpace liner, it creates a barrier between your home and the earth beneath it. This will help block moisture that causes mold. The CleanSpace liner offered by Woods Basement Systems is 100% waterproof, and can also block some movement from gases such as radon. The liner, which can be fitted to any basement or crawlspace, comes with a 25 year warranty, is washable, and will help direct any water seepage to your drainage system. 

The Problem: Mold

Excess moisture in your crawlspace or basement is a breeding ground for mold. Not only do mold spores cause allergies, but it can cause serious damage to the wood your home which can cause structural issues. That's right; the structural damage caused by mold can lower the value of your home, and can cost a significant amount of money to fix. The longer it sits, the more it will cost to correct. 

The Solution: SaniDry Dehumidifier

A dehumidifier will help combat the humidity and moisture that is causing mold in your basement or crawlspace by drying out the air in the basement to keep the area dry. A regular dehumidifier from a department store can cost you upwards of $200 and will dry around 30 pints of water per day. The SaniDry Dehumidifier offered by Woods Basement Systems dries around 109 pints of water per day, is energy efficient, and can cover up to 2500 square feet.
