he air in many homes contain harmful pollutants that are invisible, odorless and not readily detected. These substances can cause health problems such as irritated eyes and nose, headaches, dizziness, chronic fatigue, memory loss, respiratory infections and more. Mold usually grows in damp places, but without moisture, they couldn't get started, much less spread. When moisture is present mold can begin to take hold in less than 24 hours. Mild and severe mold can cause many minor to severe health problems.
Studies show that many of the newer "air-tight" homes are creating a mold epidemic contributing to an increase in respiratory ailments and other serious health concerns. Tri-State Concrete offers Humidex in tandem with our waterproofing systems to free your home from mold and allergens.
Consumers have primarily utilized dehumidifiers as a means of lowering indoor moisture levels. The fact remains that dehumidifiers are extremely costly to run, require daily maintenance, do not address the issue of ventilation and air exchange, recycle the same stale air again and again, and scariest of all, they can overheat and cause a fire. In fact according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, at least 1.5 million dehumidifiers were recalled in 2002 for this reason alone.
Humidex beats standard dehumidifiers on every level. Humidex is not only 90% less expensive to run, you get the added benefit of a continuous air exchange for improved air quality, and the reduction of risks associated with moisture and mold.
