Basement Humidity Solutions in Northern Indiana
A&M SafeBasements knows that basement humidity in your South Bend, Fort Wayne, Plymouth, Warsaw, Auburn, or Marion home can quickly become a problem. Chances are likely that if you have excessively high humidity levels, you also have a lot of moisture. When you have these two elements in your basement, mold will be able to grow as long as it has organic material to feed off of (boxes, old clothes, cardboard, etc.). Mold doesn’t just look bad; it can cause a variety of health problems for you and your family, including:
- Breathing problems
- Asthma attacks
- Headaches
- Fatigue
- Skin rashes
As you can see, you must get rid of basement mold and prevent it altogether. One way of doing so is to remove one “ingredient” in the recipe for mold. So, if you remove both moisture and humidity, you will not have to worry about this dangerous fungus growing underneath your home.
Warning Signs of High Humidity Levels
If you notice any of the following, the odds are likely that you have a basement humidity problem:
- Noticeable mold growing on the wall, floor, or on boxes
- A musty odor comes from the basement
- The floor and walls feel damp
Fixing the Problem
To take care of this common problem, we can install a dehumidifier and a waterproofing system that is ideal for the unique conditions underneath your home.
Dehumidifier
To control humidity levels underneath your home, you can install a dehumidifier. When you have this device installed, it will be able to remove this excessive humidity from your air and make it a much drier and more pleasant environment. We have a variety of dehumidifiers available in different capacities. This means we can guarantee that we have the right size for your home.
Waterproofing
We can provide you with many solutions when it comes to getting rid of basement moisture. First, we will need to inspect your basement and determine how water can get inside. If you have leaky basement floor cracks or wall cracks, they will need to be sealed. If water is making its way into your home via the basement cove (where the basement wall meets the floor), we can install a drainage system connecting to a sump pump. Once the water reaches a certain level in the sump pit, it will be directed out and away from your home.
SafeDrain™ is the drain system we provide, and it can be installed along your basement wall. It will collect water, so it doesn’t get inside and ruin your walls, floor, and belongings. It can also be installed with an optional wall encapsulation product.
SafeDrain™ is designed with a special clear lid that can easily be looked through to inspect the system to ensure it’s working properly. It can also be installed with Radon mitigation systems for extra protection in your basement.
