How can I restrict the growth of mould in my home? There are some simple and sensible things you can do to prevent the growth of mould in and around your home. Maintain your home’s eavestroughs and downspouts, making sure they drain away from the building’s foundation. Avoid hanging wet laundry in the home, and clean your dryer lint trap after every use. Leave the washing machine door open after use to dry the interior, and drain any drip pans or buckets in use with air conditioners, refrigerators or dehumidifiers. Keep your sump pump covered. Repair any leaks in your home’s foundation, walls and roof. Check home foundation, walls, windows, roof, plumbing, tubs and sinks for water leaks. If you find a leak or a spill, dry the area and fix the leak. Dry window sills affected by cold-weather condensation or warm-weather rain. Ventilate your house by using exhaust fans when cooking or showering, letting the fan run for a few minutes after you are finished. Make sure the clothes dryer, bathroom and kitchen fans, stoves, and oil or propane…

How serious a risk is mould in the home? There is always some mould in a home, especially in areas which experience high humidity, seasonally or year round. Studies have shown there is sufficient evidence to link indoor exposure to mould with upper respiratory tract symptoms, coughing and wheezing in otherwise healthy individuals. It has also been shown to aggravate symptoms in those with asthma. The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, the CDC in the United States, says on its website that studies have suggested there is a possible link to early exposure to mould in the development of asthma in some children, particularly if there are genetically susceptible. It has been suggested that improving the home environment can reduce the development of asthma in those who are susceptible. Here at home, Health Canada points out that the elderly and those with a weakened immune system or other conditions such as severe allergies or other respiratory conditions such as COPD are also more vulnerable to the effects of moulds in…

How long does it take to install the EZ Breathe system? We can install the EZ Breathe Ventilation System in your home in one day. We have installed many EZ Breathe units in Windsor and Essex County and the Chatham-Kent area. First, a professional installer visits your home to determine the most advantageous location for the system. Usually, it’s installed in the lowest part of your home, most likely a basement or crawl space, and as far away from the stairway as possible to ensure the greatest air flow throughout the lower level. E-Z Breathe installs neatly and cleanly, venting to the outside of the home using a small 6-inch duct – similar to a dryer or hood fan. Request a FREE home air evaluation of your home and see how EZ Breathe can remove moisture and allergens.

Is the EZ Breathe system better than dehumidifiers or air purifiers? High humidity plagues southwestern Ontario Whether it’s our smoldering summers or our bone-chilling winters, Windsor and Essex County and the Chatham-Kent region experience high humidity levels year round. Our homes and our families are subjected to the effects of high levels of humidity constantly. Do you have a musty smell in your basement or crawl space? If so, it’s not surprising since the average home’s foundation absorbs 10-15 gallons of water vapour every day. Removing excess moisture helps prevent damage to your home’s structure and personal belongings. But why use costly electricity to condense this water vapour into liquid form as traditional dehumidification products do? The EZ Breathe Ventilation System maintains healthy humidity levels for only $2-$4 per month on your electric bill. Compare this cost to that of one traditional dehumidifier which can cost up to $50 per month to operate. We can install an EZ Breathe system to remove this moisture from your home…

Should I install an EZ Breathe Ventilation System in my home or business? The EZ Breathe system results in a healthier home and work place. If you could see the air that your breathe in your home, you’d hold your breath. The average home’s foundation absorbs 10-15 gallons of water vapour daily! This absorption through your home’s foundation accounts for 80 per cent of your indoor airborne moisture. Removing this excess moisture helps prevent damage to your home’s structure and your family’s personal belongings. The EZ Breathe home ventilation system not only reduces airborne moisture, however. It also reduces indoor air pollution and expels odours, mould spores and contaminated air from your home. By exchanging this impure air for cleaned air, the atmosphere within the home becomes healthier and safer. Just one unit controls moisture levels and air quality for up to 7,000 square feet. After our professional installer has the EZ Breathe Ventilation System working in your home, you will notice a difference in: Allergy & Asthma Relief Poor air quality…
