Moisture creates problems
—
ventilation is the answer...
Wood damage causes
approximately $1 billion in damage annually — that's
expensive!
Ventilation is crucial in controlling moisture
problems in basements and crawl spaces. Your foundation
should be vented to help eliminate moisture and help
prevent termite infestation.
Too few vents or vents that have become dirty and
clogged over the years reduce their effectiveness.
Moisture can cause devastating destruction to the home.
When decay becomes extensive, rotting sills must be
replaced to correct the damage.
Temp-Vents come in a variety of colors or
can be painted to coordinate with your color
scheme.
Temp-Vent automatic
foundation vents automatically open and close as
the temperature changes — no electricity
required and no need to remember to open and close
the vents as the seasons change! Temp-Vents:
help protect your home's
foundation from moisture and termite damage
interior and exterior
screens on each side of vent prevents the entry of
pests into crawlspaces
enhance the value and
beauty of your home
help reduce
winter heating bills and prevent frozen water and
sewer pipes
Moisture barriers
are a second way to protect your sills and
subflooring from rotting. Moisture barriers
cause moisture to condense on the barrier and
return to the earth below, reducing moisture
build-up on sills, floor joists, subflooring and
other wood structures.
H & H Foundation Repair professionals can inspect
your foundation for moisture problems, check whether
enough vents exist for sufficient ventilation, and
ensure they are operating efficiently.
