A damp, moldy basement can be a serious problem.
We can help.

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 and unpleasant basement odors. Keeping humidity down reduces the chance for mold to grow. In general, mold will not grow at less than 50% relative humidity! Dehumidification is the key.

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.

Basement Technologies has solved the two major causes of humidity.  We employ the state of the art Air Mop® 2 or BONAIR By Humidex to keep the air in your basement dry and comfortable. To absorb moisture in the floor we use the Humid-Evac™, another tried and true Basement Technologies dehumidification product.  No matter what type of moisture builds up in your basement, Jacklitch Waterproofing and Foundation Repair has a product to take care of it.
