Indoor Air Quality

Professional indoor air quality services from Armored Basement Waterproofing help homeowners eliminate moisture, improve ventilation, and create a cleaner, healthier living environment from the ground up.

The Benefits of a Healthy Basement

When your basement is properly protected, the benefits extend throughout your entire home.

Homeowners enjoy:

Fresher, cleaner indoor air — less musty smells, fewer airborne irritants.
Reduced mold and mildew risk — especially in damp zones like basements and crawlspaces.
Improved comfort and health for allergy or asthma sufferers.
Lowered risk of moisture-driven structural damage and associated repair costs.
Efficient system design — ventilation and waterproofing that work together to optimise energy use and indoor comfort.

Why Basement Health Matters

By improving IAQ, we not only protect the health of occupants (less mold, fewer allergens, fresher air) but also protect the structure from moisture-related damage (wood rot, drywall degradation, foundation stress).

Moisture buildup and wood rot

Ground moisture seeps into unsealed crawl spaces, weakening wooden beams and supports. Encapsulation prevents rot and costly structural repairs.

Mold and mildew growth

A damp crawl space is the perfect environment for mold and mildew, which can spread spores into your living areas. Sealing and dehumidifying the crawl space eliminates this health hazard.

Common Contributors to Poor Indoor Air Quality

Several conditions inside a home can degrade indoor air quality:

Excess moisture/humidity — Basements, crawlspaces or other below-grade areas tend to trap humid air, which becomes a breeding ground for mold and mildew.
Stagnant, poorly ventilated zones — Without dedicated ventilation, stale air accumulates, carrying pollutants, odors and allergenic particles.
“Stack effect” air movement — Pollutants from lower levels (basements, crawlspaces) can migrate upward into living spaces, negatively affecting the whole home’s air.
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), allergens, radon and other gases — These may enter through foundation cracks, inadequate ventilation or simply from indoor sources.

How We Improve Indoor Air Quality

At Armored Basement Waterproofing, we adopt a multi-layered approach to IAQ improvement:

1. Moisture & Humidity Control

We assess and address moisture sources — ranging from foundation leaks to ground moisture migration — and integrate waterproofing measures that reduce humidity levels. Lowering humidity helps prevent mold growth and damp-air problems.

2. Targeted Ventilation Solutions

Rather than relying solely on opening windows or general HVAC airflow, we install and integrate ventilation systems that actively exchange indoor air from low-lying areas (basements or crawlspaces) with fresh, drier air. This reduces pollutant concentration and improves overall air circulation.
Modern installations draw out humid, pollutant-laden air and replace it with cleaner air from conditioned parts of the home.

3. Whole-Home Airflow Improvement

Since basement and crawlspace air often impacts the entire home’s IAQ, our strategy connects surface waterproofing, drainage systems and ventilation to create a healthier home from the ground up. This includes linking waterproofed areas to ventilation pathways so the entire home benefits.
