Breathe Easier This Winter with Mid-State Basement Systems

Why Indoor Air Quality Declines in Winter

When homes are sealed to keep out the cold, air circulation is reduced. This allows pollutants like dust, pet dander, and mold spores to accumulate, especially in damp areas like basements and crawl spaces. High humidity levels further contribute to mold growth and condensation, threatening both comfort and structural integrity.

The Impact of Poor Indoor Air Quality

  • Health Concerns: Pollutants and mold can exacerbate allergies, asthma, and respiratory conditions.
  • Structural Risks: Humidity can lead to wood rot and mold, compromising your home's foundation and structural stability.

Tips to Improve Indoor Air Quality This Winter

  • Control Humidity: Use a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to keep humidity levels between 30–50%, preventing mold growth and improving air quality.
  • Enhance Ventilation: The Aspen Air Purifier removes 99.97% of airborne particles with minimal energy usage, ensuring fresh, clean air without losing heat.
  • Protect Against Water Intrusion: Install the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump and WaterGuard® Drainage System to prevent basement flooding and mold growth.
  • Seal Gaps and Cracks: Eliminate drafts while maintaining air circulation with encapsulation systems and air purifiers.
  • Encapsulate Your Crawl Space: The CleanSpace® Crawl Space Encapsulation System keeps cold, damp air out, improving comfort and air quality throughout your home.
