SaniDry Maintains Dry Atmosphere For Steuben, ME Basement

Challenge

A homeowner in Steuben, ME had been working on finishing their basement. But with a slight dampness, they were concerned that mold might eventually begin to grow within the space. To put their worries to rest, they called TC Hafford Basement Systems to have the space protected.

Solution

With no major leaks into this basement, no elaborate system was necessary to keep the space dry. To handle the moisture within the air, however, we installed a SaniDry XP dehumidifier. This will take in the surrounding air and separate the moisture from it. The dried air is then circulated back into the basement, causing more damp air to flow toward the SaniDry. This process continues until the atmosphere within the basement has been completely dried.

The water collected within the SaniDry is deposited into a Condensate Pump we installed within the basement as well. The pump will take the water and force it up and out of the home through a PVC discharge line. This line will carry the water out and away from the home. At the end of this line, the water exits onto the ground a safe distance from the home. This far away, the water draining into the ground will never again be able to reach the home to cause any further problems.

With their new dehumidifier in place, this homeowner no longer needs to worry about the dampness within their basement causing problem. Without moisture in the air, no mold will be able to grow or survive.
