The Environmental Protection Agency informs us that "6 out of 10 homes and buildings are 'sick'”, meaning they can be hazardous to your health to occupy as a result of airborne pollutants!
Most people spend well over 90% of their time indoors, and this leads to the fact that indoor air is going to impact our health far more than outdoor air. According to Scientific American, a baby crawling on the floor inhales the equivalent of four cigarettes a day, and is exposed to a multitude of pollutants, as a result of the out gassing of carpets, molds, mildews, fungi, dust mites, etc.
Sick Home (or Sick House) Syndrome occurs in dwellings with excess moisture and a lack of ventilation. Lower levels - especially cold damp crawl spaces and basements - nurture mold and contaminants, and these work their way into the upper levels of the home via the natural flow of indoor air through a phenomenon known as the "Stack Effect".
The EPA also states: "Unless they are built with means of mechanical ventilation, homes that are designed and constructed to minimize the amount of outdoor air that can "leak" into and out of the home may have higher pollutant levels than other homes."
Coastal Dry Home's line of Moisture Control & Ventilation (MCV) Systems achieve exactly what its name implies. Our solutions utilize mechanical ventilation to create healthier home environment, improving indoor air quality through the expulsion of gases, toxins, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s) and odors. Stagnant air is replaced by fresh air creating a healthy home environment and maintaining the integrity of the house through structural drying.
Our MCV Systems are maintenance-free and is also extremely energy efficient - costing less than $6 per month to operate while providing a drier indoor air environment that is far easier and less expensive to heat and cool than a moist, humid one.
