Buying and owning a property can be the biggest business of your life. Most properties have certain risk structures that should be reviewed periodically.

Crawl Space 

Many houses are built with a so-called crawl space. The crawl space is a smart and inexpensive construction. Smart in that it is easy to inspect and take action on drainage problems etc. But a crawl spaces also has weaknesses such as the risk of high humidity which can cause mold growth. Normally, the crawl space is supplied but natural ventilation through valves around the crawl space. Sometimes it comes with a heating cable whose purpose is to raise the temperature so that the air can carry more moisture. We do not consider any of the above solutions to be safe. With a crawl space dehumidifier from Acetec you ensure a controlled moisture content while at the same time you can always see the current humidity and temperature in the crawl space on the enclosed display that you easily mount in an easily accessible place.

Cold Attic

A cold attic in itself is not a major risk design (not the roof included) but if you start to change the basic construction such as additional insulation with insulating boards or loose wool, you immediately change the structure. Many older houses have no diffusion barrier in the ceiling, which allows the moisture to move freely up to the cold attic. Before the additional insulation, more heat was released on the cold wind, which allowed the air to carry more moisture. When additional insulation is added, the temperature difference between the indoor climate in the house and the cold wind increases. This means that you get a cooler air in the cold attic compared to before, which means a greater risk of condensation as cold air carries less moisture is hot air. At the same time, moisture can continue to migrate when no diffusion barrier is present. With a dehumidifier from Acetec you ensure a controlled moisture content so that you do not suffer from condensation problems and in the long run mold growth.
