When the Relative Humidity levels in your basement are at or above 60%, the perfect environment for mold and dust mites to thrive is created.
Even if you don’t see it, that typical musty basement smell actually indicates the presence of mold. Dust mites are equally invisible. Their airborne droppings, alongside mold spores, can pose a threat to your home’s air quality.
According to the CDC, there are two major causes of indoor allergies; dust mite droppings and mold spores. A common misconception is that these particles will stay confined to the basement. However, in a common American household, air naturally rises from the lower levels of the building and escapes upwards. That means that at any given time, roughly a third of the air you breathe is air that has been drafted upwards from the basement.
Get rid of smells and allergens by getting rid of moisture!
There are three things that allow mold and dust mites to grow: warmth, organic matter (such as household dust), and moisture. Of those three, there is only one you can fully and successfully control: moisture levels.
To control moisture levels, you will need to be running a good basement dehumidifier, which will keep Relative Humidity Levels (RHL) under 60%. That will cause any existing mold and dust mites to dry out and stop releasing droppings and spores and will filter any impurities out of the air. As a result, you will have a fresh smelling and Healthy Basement.
