How do I get rid of the damp, musty smell in my basement?
That damp musty smell is caused by moisture in the air, called humidity. Moisture in the home has many sources – plants, people, pets, cooking, washing, through your foundation and basement floor and most importantly, the air itself. In fact there is so much moisture entering your home, only a large capacity dehumidifier can remove enough moisture to keep your relative humidity down. When the relative humidity gets above 50% - mold, mildew and bacteria will grow, causing that “musty” smell. Most residential dehumidifiers can't keep up with the load and keep humidity below 50%.
The Solution:
Nature’s Aire systems are among the most technologically advanced products in the market. A Nature’s Aire dehumidifier will maintain your basements relative humidity below 50% so that mold, mildew and bacteria can’t grow. Our units also add a little heat to the basement, so a cold damp basement becomes a little warmer and a lot drier so your basement, won’t feel like a basement. And you’ll never worry about emptying your dehumidifier because all Nature’s Aire units are self emptying. They’re also up to 1/3 less costly to operate because they automatically turn on and off as necessary to regulate the humidity. Plus Nature's Aire units are “whisper quiet.” You’ll never have to turn up the TV to hear over your dehumidifier again. Best of all our units are “invisible”. We can place them out of sight so you don’t have to decorate around them.
