PREVENT SICK HOUSE SYNDROME WITH HUMIDEX

The EPA informs us that 6 out of 10 homes and buildings are “sick” meaning they are hazardous to your health to occupy as a result of airborne pollutants.

Most people spend well over 90% of their time indoors. In which case, indoor air is going to impact our health far more than outdoor air. According to Scientific American, a baby crawling on the floor inhales the equivalent of four cigarettes a day, and is exposed to a multitude of pollutants, as a result of the out gassing of carpets, molds, mildews, fungi, dust mites, etc. Sick House Syndrome occurs in homes with excess moisture and lack of ventilation. Cold damp basements and crawl spaces nuture mold and contaminants which work their way into the upper levels of the home.

Humidex controls moisture and creates ventilation in both basements and crawl spaces. Humidex will create a healthier home environment by improving indoor air quality by expelling gases, toxins, VOC’s and odors. Stagnant air will be replaced by fresh air creating a healthy home and maintain the structural integrity of the home.

Humidex is energy efficient and cost less than $5 per month on your utility bill and is maintenance free.
