OUR CRAWL SPACE SOLUTIONs
Crawl spaces are a major source of moisture infiltration that permeates up into living areas, emits odors and saturates structures. The crawl space environment is conducive to mold growth and infestation. Foundation vents are inadequate sources of ventilation and do not mechanically expel moisture to keep the area dry and free of odors. The introduction of seasonally hot, humid air into a cold crawl space environment can create substantial moisture problems.
The two Humidex™ Crawl Space Systems - Model #'s CCC-103 & HDS-103 - are designed specifically for homes with crawl spaces. Unlike a conventional crawl space dehumidifier, these systems will reduce the humidity and musty odors in a crawl space with controlled ventilation in this problematic area. Because they remove humidity they will also stop wood from rotting and discourage termite infestation, which will go a long way towards eliminating potentially costly repairs.
Trusted independent sources agree that sealed, conditioned crawl spaces provide for a healthier and far more energy-efficient home environment, and their mutually approved means of conditioning the crawl space are in lock-step with the Humidex CCC-103 & HDS-103 solutions offered by MP Certified Partners.

Extensive testing conducted on behalf of the Department of Energy monitored 12 identical homes to compare crawl spaces with foundation wall vents to closed crawl spaces without foundation vents that utilized mechanical ventilation. Here are the general findings:
> Foundation vents add excess moisture during hot, humid weather, promoting conditions conducive to mold
growth. Is your home's crawl space vented?? Most of them are!
> Vapor barriers by themselves do not keep the crawl space dry enough.
> Closed crawl spaces with mechanical ventilation stay dry all year round.
Foundation-vented crawl spaces have 70% or greater relative humidity a whopping 79% of the time.
Mechanically vented crawl spaces never exceeded 60% relative humidity and there were lower energy costs for heating and cooling the entire house - 17% savings on average!
