Our newest product, the Airtech107, was recently profiled on HGTV’s House of Bryan. Bryan Baeumler shows how our unit is installed in his new home.

Poured concrete foundations are better suited to help with AirTech moisture control units. Cinder blocks are designed to be more porous, and moisture infiltration can pose a problem for these foundations if left untreated and not properly sealed. Cinder blocks are also constructed with an internal cavity, making the surfaces of your basement/crawlspace walls more vulnerable to condensation and moisture problems. For optimal moisture control and indoor air quality, it is recommended to have your foundation walls insulated. Insulated walls helps keep your basement/crawlspace temperature at or above dew point to avoid condensation from forming, and help your AirTech unit work more efficiently.

Finished Basement/Insulated Walls
Problem:
Are your basement/crawl walls properly insulated?
Solution:
Having proper insulated walls greatly improves your basement or crawlspace’s ability to be at, or above dew point temperatures and avoid condensation and mold formation. Having uninsulated walls, keeps your basement walls too cold compared to the rest of the home, a common problem for many homes. During summer months the temperature difference in replenishment air and foundation walls is enough to create condensation;the condensation may not always be visible, but may be in vapor form. This is a major contributing factor in moisture problems in the basement area, showing the importance of insulating your walls. Having potential condensation issues under control before they occur, is an important tool to keep our basements and crawlspaces dry.
External Moisture/Water Seepage
Problem:
Do you have any visible external water seepage or leakage in your basement or crawlspace?
Solution:
To reduce humidity levels inside your home’s basement/crawlspace and benefit from your AirTech Humidity Control System, external water leakage must be addressed and controlled. Standing water is a clear sign of external water leakage. Seepage after a rain shower is also a clear example of problems much more extensive than high humidity levels. Contact your local waterproofing contractor for help in sealing your foundation. AirTech Products are a preventative solution to humidity problems, and only once water seepage/leakage are addressed and controlled will you have the complete benefits of the system.
Spring is finally upon us, time to prepare and protect your home from moisture problems. Here is the first of my humidity control & indoor air quality tips for your home.
