Moisture Issues in Bellbrook, OH, Crawl Space
In August, our inspector found moisture dripping from the bottom of the ductwork in this crawl space. Humid air entering through the open vents was condensing on the coolest surfaces - the AC ducts. Over time, this can cause the ducts to rust and reduces efficiency, forcing the air conditioner to work harder to cool the home.

From this photo, you can see two of the eight SmartJacks we installed underneath the new main beam. These steel posts rest on an engineer filled base so that they won't settle in the future. They are also extremely sturdy, and are made of galvanized steel to prevent rusting. After jacking them up, we were able to level out the floors above.

Our SaniDry Sedona will automatically collect moisture throughout the air whenever its sensors detect humidity. It also automatically dumps the water it collects out of the air through a condensation pump. It can collect up to 99 pints of water out of the air in a day, if needed.
