The SaniDry Basement and Crawl Space Dehumidifier and Air Filter keeps humidity down, so odors go away and mold will not grow.
Mold and Dehumidification
Mold is a growing concern and a basement is a great place for mold to grow. Mold and mildew
are musty smelling fungi that thrive in moist conditions. We cannot
make claims about mold before or after the SaniDry is installed, but
one thing is for sure keeping humidity down reduces the chances for
mold to grow. In general, mold will not grow at
less than 50% relative humidity! The SaniDry will keep your basement or
crawl space below 50% relative humidity! Of course, any groundwater,
plumbing or other leaks should be fixed, as part of a strategy to eliminate mold.
Allergens: Dust Mites and Mold
Mold spores will certainly irritate someone with
allergies. The number one allergen however, is the fecal matter of dust
mites. Dust mites don't drink water, but absorb it out of the air
through their skin. In order to live, dust mites need relative humidity
over 50%. The SaniDry unit will reduce the relative humidity below 50%
and dust mites will die off.
