Get Mold, Bacteria and Viruses Under Control

American Dry Basement Systems will disinfect and sanitize basements and crawl spaces on all full-perimeter installations. We deal with moisture control problems. Where there is moisture, there is mold and other nasty microbes. Molds are allergens, and many are toxic. That is why we take this extra step to protect the health and safety of our customers.

Is Disinfecting and Sanitizing Necessary?

Damp basements with groundwater seepage or high relative humidity can support mold growth on walls and floors, utilizing pollen, dead skin cells, dust, and dander as food sources.

Yes. Basements and crawl spaces that need waterproofing are top candidates for sanitizing. Water seepage inside is an accelerant for condensation. Those clingy water droplets are your enemy because they keep things wet for an extended period. Condensation can cling to overhead wood joists, plywood, and the sill plate.

Mold spores feed on wet organic materials, such as wood-based materials, drywall (also known as sheetrock), and cardboard boxes. The musty odor you smell in the air is a telltale sign that mold is present and actively growing.

Be aware that basements that are NOT treated after a waterproofing installation can still get mold. American Dry Basement Systems includes sanitizing with every full-perimeter waterproofing installation. We curb any active mold growth with a mold-killing botanical ingredient in our fogger.

How Do We Disinfect and Sanitize?

Botanical fogger disinfectant has been proven to kill over 99.9% of bacteria, mold, and fungal spores. Safe around children, pets, and individuals with chemical sensitivities.

We use an industrial-powered fogger to spray our botanical microbe-killing mist called Benefogg™. Our installer will move the fogger throughout the entire basement or crawl space. The fogger's mist will cover all exposed surfaces, encapsulating any living mold. Ten minutes after the application, viruses, bacteria, mold, and fungi spores die.

We are the only basement and crawl space waterproofers that "include" post-sanitizing in every full-perimeter installation. Our mission is to give you the most thorough and effective installation possible. We never want to get you halfway there. We take you to the finish line.
