Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Adding a Sedona in Sullivan, IL

Denise H. from Sullivan, IL. had extra living space in her basement that she wanted to make as comfortable as the rest of her home. She had previously installed a perimeter drainage system that would collect water seepage from the cracks where the walls met the floor and deliver it to the sump pump to be removed from the home. While this system protected the home from water leaks, it did not make her basement air feel more comfortable.   That's because this system only deals with moisture rising from beneath the floors or seeping through the walls, not moisture that's in the air. This moisture in the air can make the basement feel damp and humid in the summer, or add to the cold feeling in the winter. Additionally, moisture in the air can condense on cooler surfaces like air ducts where it can drip down to the floor and cause trouble. Worse yet, moisture in the air can help sustain mold.   But one product can fix all these problems; the Sedona. The Sedona is a powerful dehumidifier that can remove over 12 gallons of moisture from the air in a day. By eliminating the moisture problem, the air will feel more comfortable and will also combat the spread of mold. With practically no moisture in the air, mold won't be able to grow and will instead go dormant. The Sedona also features an air filter that can remove mold spores and dust mites from the air, removing that dank basement smell and reducing allergens in the air.   With the Sedona added into the waterproofing system, Denise H. will improve the quality of the living space, making it more comfortable and clean.
