Coastal Dry Home's Basement System

While we won't find many (any?) basements down here in Coastal South Carolina, we shouldn't forget about our relatives and friends in other parts of the country who have their own moisture-related issues to deal with. Coastal Dry Home carries two Basement Moisture Control & Ventilation models by Humidex™: The HCV-BS-aVir with Electronic Sensor Technology and our Heavy Duty Basement Model HDS-209. Both are very popular in areas where this type of substructure is common, and they are designed to accommodate homes with basements of varying sizes and floor plans.
Both the HCV-BS-aVir and the HDS-209 follow the same mechanical process rules of moist air and toxin Expulsion, fresh, clean air Replenishment and whole house Ventilation as their crawl space counterpart. The units are equipped with powerful, quiet fans that move significant amounts of air with minimal energy consumption. Recognizing the unique needs of homes with basements and the fact that basements may have finished living space, these units are aesthetically pleasing, compact and discreet, designed to blend in with any decor, and they feature expandable height adjustments to allow flexibility in choosing the perfect spot for installation.

Electronic Sensor Control Technology
(Available on the HCV-BS-aVir Basement Model)

The Humidex™ HCV-BS-aVir comes standard with Electronic Sensor Technology including an LED display and controls for efficient, easy operation and adjustment. Ventilation rates are automatically monitored and maintained based on continuous readings taken by the unit's onboard computer:
- Computerized sensor evaluates the ventilation and replenishment process, continuously assessing changes in relative humidity, temperature and overall trend patterns.
- Ventilation rates are reduced when conditions are deemed unfavorable based on monitored trend changes in relative humidity. When conditions return to favorable the unit will automatically resume optimum ventilation for maximum results. At a minimum the unit will operate at a low rate to effectively maintain healthy air exchanges and provide for the continuous expulsion of indoor air contaminants, odor-causing agents and toxins.
- Increases the air exchange process when relative humidity is lower such as at nighttime and decreases it when conditions are extremely hot and humid outdoors and the air conditioning is working at maximum.
