Healthy Basements should not be for just the wealthy who can afford it. Our children's health depends on how healthy your basement is. If you are like the majority of people, your basement is "Out of Site, Out of Mind".
There lies the problem - You feel your basement is not part of your house. You are kidding yourself so you don't have to deal with it. My job is to get you to realize just how important it is for you to turn your attention to the "Black Hole" in your basement.
People in the late 1800's were more concerned about healthy cellars (or basements) than we are today. Doctors need to realize that many of the breathing problems their patients have can be linked to an unhealthy basement.
Pay attention to the fact that 40% of the air your family breathes on the first floor comes from the basement. It is important to correct the wet and damp environment that is in your basement in order for the rest of your home to be healthy. Henry French (The guy who the french drain is named for) once said "If you neglect the conditions in your cellar, nothing you do on the above floors will negate its evil effects"
Please remember a healthy basement is the start of a healthy home.
