Eliminating allergens and humidity
- High humidity levels in the basement encourage rust, mildew, mold and odors.
- Most anything stored in a basement is vulnerable.
- Additional health risk is added where there are allergies to mold and dust mites or if a family member has asthma.
- To protect your family and the investment you have made in your home, maintain 50% relative humidity as recommended by the EPA.
- Peeling paint, effervescence on the foundation walls (white fuzz), dampness, musty smells are all signs of high humidity.
- Crawl space vents or basement vents should be sealed off, preventing outside unconditioned air from entering.
Clean Basement Air Dehumidifier
Musty odors, mildew, mold and dust mites thrive in high humidity. This is the number one indoor allergen which contaminates the air in the entire house. Since air circulates from the basement up, it can reduce the air quality in the house. Clean basement air system will prevent mold and mildew from growing by keeping the relative humidity at fifty percent or lower. Standard dehumidifiers require you to empty a bucket when they are full. They also consume a considerable amount of energy. On the other hand, our energy star rated "clean basement air" dehumidifier has no buckets to empty and consumes four times less energy than a major name brand standard dehumidifier. The filter in our "clean basement air" dehumidifier removes particles smaller than a mold spore or dust mite!
"Clean basement air" dehumidifier features

- Energy star rated - Our unit consumes almost 4 times LESS energy than any standard dehumidifier.
