A basement is underground and has an environment similar to a cave, wet and damp. Proper dehumidification is essential. Basement Technologies has recognized and developed products for every dehumidification issue in your basement.

Damp / Moldy Basement
The basement is different than any other part of your home. Basements are generally subterranean, so they’re naturally damp and prone to moisture. This is a breeding ground for mold, mildew, unpleasant basement odors and can be a source of rodent and insect infiltration. Keeping humidity down reduces the chance for mold to grow. In general, mold will not grow at less than 50% relative humidity! The first step is always to eliminate the source of the water, dehumidification is the key.

Basement Mold
Excess moisture on almost all indoor materials leads to growth of microbes, such as mold, fungi and bacteria, which subsequently emit spores, cells, fragments and volatile organic compounds into indoor air. Moreover, dampness initiates chemical or biological degradation of materials, which also pollute indoor air. Dampness has therefore been suggested to be strong, consistent indicator of risk of asthma and respiratory symptoms (e.g. cough and wheeze). The health risks of biological contaminants of indoor air could thus be addressed by considering dampness as the risk indicator. To prevent this, we recommend basement waterproofing.
Basement Mildew
One in three homes have some type of mildew and that found in drywall is known to be toxic. Mildew usually grows where you can't easily see it, so you may need to remove items in your basement first to eliminate mildew. Once you find the source, it's a good idea to install a dehumidifier.
Dust Mites
Dust mites are microscope bugs that live mostly on dead skin cells that are shed from humans and their pets. Dust mites are harmless to most people, but there are ways to keep the amount down in your basement. The most useful solution is to keep the relative humidity of your basement below 50 percent. You can make sure this happens with a basement dehumidifier.
