A damp, musty basement can affectyour entire home, especially when this condition is aggravated by summer humidity. This condition, often ignored by conventional ventilation systems, is not only unpleasant, but can cause structural damage and affect you and your family's health. These problems will get worse unless addressed. The Humidex system that we offer is the most effective way to deal with these problems. In addition tocontrolling humidity for the entire home, the Humidex systemwill also eliminate odors and other airborne pollutants, such as household cleaning products, fumes from paints, furnishing, carpeting, etc. and provide all the fresh clean air you need year-round.

A dirt crawl space is frequently saturated with moisture. To help eliminate moisture from the crawl space and seal it off from harmful conditions, Absolutely Dry recommends crawl space encapsulation. The crawl space barrier system encapsulates the entire crawl space. We do this using a white, 16-mil, triple ply, extrusion coated, virgin polyethylene membrane. It is manufactured using high-density fibers yielding the highest strength to weight ratio, tensile strength, tear resistance, bursting strength and puncture resistance of any product produced of its kind.

An egress window is a window large enough for entry or exit in case of an emergency. At least one window in each bedroom must be of sufficient size to permit the occupants to escape a fire and also to allow a fully outfitted firefighter to enter. These are typically required when finishing a basement and are paired with an Egress Well with attached ladder for easy escape. Window well escape systems may be a safety requirement, but you don't have to sacrifice your basement's beauty to comply with code!
