When homes are built today, they are sealed so tightly that no humidity can escape. We use good windows, doors, and house wrap to provide a higher level of energy efficiency, than any other time in history. But, by making houses so air tight there is no way for humidity to get out of the house. Humidity in your home is caused by dishwashers, washers, dryers, showers, etc. It falls to the lowest point of the house, the basement. We hear complaints all of the time about damp musty basements. It is because all of that humidity that builds up in the basement, enabling or establishing the perfect condition for mold growth, in other words, the perfect breeding ground for an unhealthy environment.
The Basement Tuxedo of Baltimore uses cost-efficient, low-maintenance solutions to expel moisture and improve the indoor air quality of your home. We convert unpleasant basements into comfortable livable space. High humidity is not just uncomfortable, it is damaging to your home. Condensation on windows, darkened window sills, wood rot, saturated drywall, and peeling paint are all due to excess moisture, and are costly to repair. We install units that consistently bring fresher, drier air into your home while using less energy than a 40 watt light bulb. Now that’s BRIGHT! And, it only takes one unit for your entire home, expelling the irritants connected to asthma, sinus infection, and other respiratory ailments.
Dehumidifiers are expensive, require constant maintenance, do nothing for your air quality, and can overheat, causing fires. We provide units that are MAINTENANCE FREE - you’ll never have to empty another bucket or change another filter! Each energy-efficient unit is safe for your home and safe for the environment. We want to improve your air quality without the use of chemicals, ozone, or CFCs.
Mold & Mildew
Mold creates a dangerous living environment. If you have a known mold or mildew problem, we can treat the problem before we begin finishing your basement. We use an ALL NATURAL formula to kill any existing mold or mildew, and block it from returning. After the mold treatment, we control the humidity of the living environment with the energy efficient fresh air units, and presto! No more mold or mildew. More and more states require mold testing to be done before you can sell your home. Reducing mold can save you thousands of dollars in costly remediation. Plus, you have the added benefit making your home a healthier place to live. Reduce the cause of asthma and allergies by controlling the moisture, mold, and mildew in your basement.
