Moldy Basement in Vincennes, IN

In Vincennes, IN, a homeowner's basement had water leaking into the basement, and was humid. When moisture and humidity are mixed, mold can form. Mold needs four things to grow such as spores seeds of mold), food (organic material, water, or high humidity), and temperatures between 32 degrees and 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Preventing mold involves controlling molds' signature element to survival - water. There are two forms of water that mold can access to survive, such as visible water and relative humidity. The homeowner was ready to transform their space into a livable one!

There are two ways to reduce the relative humidity such as heating the air or taking water out of it (dehumidifying). The basement needed a dehumidifier such as the SaniDry Sedona that would create a constant dry airflow throughout the space. CleanSpace is sealed along the walls to protect against water vapor. When water does come through the walls, it will be directed to the flow and into the WaterGuard system. The WaterGuard system collects water from the walls and will bring it to the sump pump. TripeSafe sump pump was the best option for this home. The transformation was outstanding and the homeowner thought so too.
