WAVE VENTILATION BENEFITS
The advantages of owning a WAVE Ventilation unit are more than just reduced moisture, decreased mold levels, and improved indoor air quality. Financially smart homeowners are finding very real bottom line benefits that can mean thousands of additional dollars in their bank accounts.
Reduce Risk & Cost of Health Issues
The #1 benefit of owning a WAVE ventilation unit is your health. A musty basement could be a lot to sneeze at because certain health-related problems, such as asthma, allergies and respiratory problems are directly attributable to excessive moisture that nurtures the biological growth and to the buildup of indoor air contaminants. By reducing moisture levels, expelling pollutants, and ventilating indoor air, WAVE ventilation can help to greatly reduce the exorbitant medical costs and negative health effects associated with these disorders
Energy Savings
WAVE ventilation will save at least $500 a year, versus operating a single dehumidifier, amounting to a total of $5,000 in savings over the ten year warranted life. Furthermore, it takes less energy to heat or air condition a dry home as opposed to a damp one. Tests conducted by the Department of Energy indicated an annual 17% reduction in energy costs when conditioning a crawl space with mechanical ventilation.
Increase Home Value
The average basement makes up approximately 35% of a home's size, and a dry basement increases the likelihood that it'll be used and enjoyed. WAVE ventilation will help maintain a clean and dry environment, turning that often ignored basement area into a fun and livable family area or even into a rent able, income-generating asset.
Increase Chances of Selling Home
Many states across the country now require sellers to provide potential home buyers with Mold Disclosure Statements. Homes that are disclosed to have mold problems are less likely to sell and have a lower market value. Homes with WAVE ventilation get top dollar on the market because they smell fresh and are free of moisture.
Added Value to Tax Dollars
Real estate taxes are based on region and the overall size of a home including the basement. Homeowners with unused or underutilized basements due to moisture and mold problems are throwing a significant amount of their real estate tax dollars into the garbage. WAVE ventilation can reduce moisture to help homeowners reclaim their basements and the value of their tax dollars.
More Living Space for Less
When extra living space is required, many homeowners choose to build expensive new additions. Remodeling an existing basement is far less expensive and much less time consuming as well. With the addition of WAVE ventilation to their newly remodeled basement, homeowners can feel confident that this new added living area will remain clean, dry and comfortable.
Reduce Cost of Repair Work
The cost of repairing areas of your home damaged by mold and moisture saturation will fluctuate depending on the severity of the problem, but the final price tag can easily run into the tens of thousands of dollars. WAVE ventilation can prevent mold from occurring in the first place and from repeating itself in the future. Typical structural repair work from excessive moisture saturation includes fixing or replacing walls, flooring, beams and frames
