Improve Your Indoor Air Quality With a Dry Basement
Studies consistently show that poor indoor air quality is a major issue in American homes. Today’s homes are built to be airtight and energy efficient, but without good airflow, contaminants can keep accumulating.
High humidity is one of the leading concerns. As much as 40% of the air in your home comes in through the basement or crawl space, and that air can be quite humid. The high level of moisture can lead to mold, mildew, and bacteria growth. Constant indoor humidity levels of above 60% are not healthy.
To take control of your home’s humidity, bring in the experienced professionals from Dry Otter Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair. We use state-of-the-art technology to dehumidify basements and crawl spaces in residential, commercial, and industrial properties throughout Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin.
