Indoor Air Quality Control
Radon Gas Mitigation & Water Vapor Sealers
Regardless of how large or small the problem is, when water leaks in a basement or crawl space, the homeowner generally does not delay in doing whatever is necessary to have the problem fixed - either by himself or by a professional. Water in the basement or crawl space, as a result of water seepage or flooding, is quite the obvious problem. However, the potentially more dangerous problem often can’t be seen, or may not easily be noticeable.
Mold, mildew and radon gas infiltration directly impact the quality of the indoor air within a basement and/or crawl space. That air, naturally works its way above the foundation. Fifty percent of the air that circulates throughout the kitchen, living room and bedrooms, originally came from below the foundation.
The home air quality can have a lasting impact on the overall health of its occupants. While allergies and asthma can't directly be prevented, the conditions, such as indoor air quality, can be controlled when necessary action is taken. When poor indoor air quality is reduced, allergies and asthma have less of a chance of being triggered.
Seepage through a crack from the foundation, floor or joint (usually the cove), or excess water as a result from flooding provides the perfect atmosphere for molds and mildew to grow. In addition to mold and mildew, radon gas infiltration are all indoor air quality conditions that can be controlled by a basement waterproofing contractor. Emecole's formulated materials include specially produced products for foundation walls, slabs, and cove joints for improving the air quality of a basement and/or crawl space.
Existing basement waterproofing contractors or crawl space insulation installers can easily add indoor air quality as a service for their customers. For more information, browse through Emecole’s home air quality control products, or call 800-844-2713 to speak with one of our technical consultants.
