Reducing Humidity in a Basement in Williamstown, MA

This family in Williamstown, MA reached out to us with a basement water issue. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he noted that there was a dehumidifier in the basement. They wanted to address a pre-existing humidity issue alongside waterproofing the basement. High humidity in a home is caused by a number of important conditions. High humidity causes many problems in a home such as mold (which grows at Relative Humidities [RH] above 75%), rot (which happens above 90% RH) odors, airborne mold spores that aggravate allergies and asthma, increased pests and insects such as termites, and higher air conditioning and heating costs. Result - cold floors above, condensation, mold, rot, odors, drafty, uncomfortable home, higher fuel and electric bills.

 

We had the perfect solution for this customer. The SaniDry™ Sedona air system is a powerful but energy efficient dehumidification and air filtration system in one unit. Able to remove an incredible 100 pints of water per day and using only 5.9 amps of electricity, the SaniDry™ Sedona drains automatically to a sump or the outside with a condensate pump. It has a powerful 310 cfm blower to circulate the dry air completely around to dry building materials and contents. Mold doesn’t have a chance! An automatic control is easy - set it to 55% RH and forget it - the SaniDry™ Sedona does the rest! And there’s no buckets to empty! Results - Low Relative Humidity, mold stops growing, odors are reduced, lower air conditioning cost, upstairs is dryer.

Installing a Basement Door in Cheshire, MA

This homeowner in Cheshire, MA reached out to us about her basement. She had several issues going on, and was not sure what she needed. However, she knew that she was uncomfortable in her home due to her insulation, and she knew her home was not energy efficient. She also had mold in her basement she wanted addressed. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he noted that they had an older door at the bottom of their hatchway steps that was allowing outside air into the basement.

 

We had the perfect solution for this customer. In this solution, we installed an insulated exterior door. The proper framing is installed, followed by a new door with a locking knob. Result - warmer basement and floors over the basement, drier basement in summer, lower fuel and electric costs, less drafts, house easier to heat, more security.

Insulating a Basement in Cheshire, MA

This homeowner in Cheshire, MA reached out to us because she wanted an estimate for getting her home looked at. She did not know what she needed specifically, but knew that she had a severe flood in her basement at one point. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he spoke to the homeowner in more detail to find out what she needed. Among other things, she needed help with her energy efficiency. Her basement was not insulated, and that was causing energy loss.

 

We had the perfect solution for this customer! In this solution, we utilize two-part expanding spray foam. Once we remove the old insulation, we insulate the rim joist (the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the home). We spray this foam in the rim joist and over the sill plate. Insulating the rim joist in this way seals all air leaks -- filling in the cracks and gaps that are present there. This prevents outside air from getting into the home. Now, this homeowner is much more comfortable in her home, and will have lower energy bills!
