Basements are meant to stay dry, but due to natural slope in the ground and other factors, water can sometimes seep into your structure after a heavy rain fall or as snow begins to melt in the spring. While most of the water runs away from the house, some may run toward it, causing pressure to build up and cracking the walls and foundation, ultimately leading to flooding and other moisture issues. One of the most effective ways to prevent these issues is to install sump pumps. At Basement Technologies, we can help homeowners select the right pump for their needs and install it so it can start doing its job before it's too late.

In order to address these problems, we developed a line of patented basement dehumidification systems to keep your home healthy, dry and mold-free. Our revolutionary basement dehumidifiers and crawl space dehumidifiers, the Humid-Evac, Bon Aire, and Air Mop 3 deal with humidity and condensation issues by drying under the slab before the moisture enters. Basements are similar to a cave, they are below ground level (subterranean) and are conducive to a damp, wet environment and need proper dehumidification to deal with these issues.

To solve moisture and water problems in basements, before waterproofing any walls or applying any insulation, you should install drain footings around the house and study the gutters and downspouts. Make sure that roof gutters (on your house's eaves) and the downspouts are working properly. They should be well cleared and opened: otherwise, rainwater would sit on the roof and run down the walls damaging the building and your foundation.

Whether you are just moving into your home or have lived there for years, a kitchen remodel is typically one of the best investments you can make in your home. When looking at resale value, many homeowners recouped at least the full amount of the cost of the remodel, if not more. However, a kitchen remodel is not just for the potential buyer; many take the plunge because they want a larger kitchen area for cooking and/or entertaining. Having lots of counter space, more pantry room, new appliances, and more is the perfect way to upgrade your kitchen!

Air quality in a home is an important factor. There are several things that can be done to make your home more comfortable to live in and eliminate the negative effects that come with breathing poor quality air. At Basement Technologies, we offer a number of solutions to Boston, Massachusetts residents, including dehumidification and air filtration. Humidity in the air can make it difficult to breath and can also contribute to allergies and the growth of mold. Installing a dehumidifier in your home, particularly in the basement, can help remove excess moisture from the air.
