Dehumidifiers ->
Crawl spaces beneath a home often suffer from high levels of humidity and benefit greatly from the use of a dehumidifier. Mold and fungi readily grow in these moist areas, as do termites, carpenter ants and a host of other destructive insects. In addition, homes with chronically wet crawlspaces can suffer structural wood-rot damage as well.
Not only does the high humidity create problems in the crawlspace, it creates problems in your entire home as well. The air in your home flows like a chimney. As warm air rises and escapes the out of top of your house, cooler air is sucked into the house from the bottom – the crawlspace. In fact, in a study up to 40% of the air found on the first floor was air once found in the crawlspace. If the air in the crawlspace is humid, moldy and musty-smelling, it can create air quality problems in your entire home. Allergy and asthma sufferers should be especially aware of the air quality of their crawl spaces and how that air can negatively affect the entire home. Although ventilation can sometimes help – it usually is not an adequate solution.
Sylvane carries a variety of excellent dehumidifiers for high moisture crawlspace conditions. These units are built to withstand the cold harsh environments and are economical to operate. Choose one best suited for your size and needs.
