Research has shown that indoor air quality is often worse than that of outdoor air. The air in your home is affected by many factors, including pets, insects, pests, moisture, ventilation, radon, and toxins such as smoke and cleaning chemicals. Your basement often has the worst air quality of any room in your home because of what’s stored down there, dampness and poor ventilation.

If your basement smells musty when you enter it, this is a sign that you may have a moisture problem. If you have areas of dampness on the floor, walls or ceiling, you definitely have a moisture problem! 

For healthier basement air, you need to remove dampness. 

How to Improve Air Quality in Your Basement

It is very easy to prevent the damage that moisture can inflict on your household -- so easy, in fact, that it’s hard to understand why more people don’t take care of it as a simple household maintenance task.  It’s all about moisture control. When moisture levels are low, moisture problems disappear.  It’s as simple as that. 

Moisture control is pretty easy to manage. Here are a few guidelines for improving your basement air quality by controlling excess moisture:

• Identify and fix any water damage or water leaks.
• Make sure your basement is well ventilated, so air can move through freely.
• Regularly inspect your basement for signs of high moisture, such as musty odors.
• Use DampRid moisture absorber, to keep humidity levels low (below 50%) year round.
