Moisture problems in crawl spaces: A challenge for your home
Moisture in crawl spaces and unventilated crawl spaces is a common challenge that can lead to serious problems such as mold and rot. These problems can affect not only the building's structure but also indoor air quality, which can be detrimental to your health.
To protect your home and ensure a safe and healthy environment, it is important to keep humidity levels under control.
The solution: The Security Guard
We and TrygghetsVakten offer an innovative solution for handling moisture problems in crawl spaces. The system is equipped with a built-in computer that continuously records the climate in the space using temperature and humidity sensors.
By carefully monitoring these values, TrygghetsVakten can predict when there is a risk of mould or rot fungus spores growing.
Hur fungerar Trygghetsvakten för att ta bort fukt i krypgrunden
Temperature increase
When humidity levels start to approach critical levels, the system activates a heating cable that raises the temperature in the crawl space. A one-degree temperature increase can lower the relative humidity by as much as 5%, creating unfavorable conditions for mold and rot.
Drying of the foundation
Warm air can hold more moisture than cold air, which means that the ventilation air effectively transports moisture away from the foundation. This works in the same way as when the indoor air is dry in winter when the heating is on.
Solves the problem of moisture in the crawl space
All TrygghetsVakten products are modular, making it easy to upgrade or expand the system as needed. If you have a larger crawl space of 70 sqm or a divided crawl space, you can easily add more units to improve moisture control.
For foundations that are particularly damp or need protection against radon and odors, TrygghetsVakten Pro-X offers an even more robust solution.
