Counteract moisture in your crawl space

Do you have a house that is built on a so-called crawl space? Did you know that even newly built house foundations of this type are very susceptible to mold growth? Acetec's crawl space dehumidifiers helps you get rid of moisture in your crawl space and minimizes the risk of dangerous mold growth.

Crawl spaces are often affected by moisture

It is very common to design houses with crawl spaces. It is a cost effective and technically simple solution which has been very popular for many years. But there are also disadvantages to this building technology and it is that moisture easily accumulates in creep bases.

In the cavity beneath the house, moisture often arises, which can lead to mold formation - both black and white mold in the crawl space is common. Bad odors and mold spores can then penetrate through the floor and pose a danger to your and your family's health.

Common signs of moisture in crawl spaces

Do you suspect that the crawl base was affected by moisture damage? Creep into the foundation and examine it. Common signs that the crawl space has become mold damaged include:

Visible mold - the house can suffer from both black and white mold in the crawl space.

• Moist foundation walls and ground.
• Bad smell / scent.
• NOTE! It can also be good to measure the moisture levels with a moisture meter.

What to do with moisture in the crawl space?

Invest in a dehumidifier from Acetec when you want to be sure to get rid of the moisture. A dehumidifier provides effective protection against both moisture and mold, as the dehumidifier absorbs moisture and minimizes the risk of mold growth.
