John's Waterproofing Case Studies: Poor Air Quality in Yachats, Oregon
Challenge
A homeowner was looking to improve the air quality in his home. He was tired of the musty, damp odors that seemed to be originating from the crawl space. It was suggested to him that he consider buying a dehumidifier for his crawl space to clean and filter the air. But the thought of spending a ton of money on electricity and energy costs in order to run a dehumidifier was not appealing. The homeowner needed to find a dehumidifier that was powerful enough to do the job but wouldn't cost him a fortune to have.
Solution
The SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was the perfect solution for this homeowner. It gets rid of the damp and musty odors by drying and filtering the air. By keeping his home below 55% relative humidity, there won't be any mold, mildew or dust mites in the air. The SaniDry Sedona has an impressive 100 pints per day capacity and will move over 300 cubic feet of dry air per minute around the crawl space. This will dry out the building materials and contents of the home and eliminate the damp feeling the homeowner had in his house. And the Sedona is Energy Star rated and is the most efficient dehumidifier in the world without a large bulky heat exchange core, at over 2.9 liters of water per kilowatt hour of electricity. So the homeowner will actually save on electricity over the years while keeping his home dry and healthy.
