Understanding Basement Air Ventilation Systems
Basement air ventilation systems are crucial for circulating fresh air throughout your basement, removing contaminated air, and preventing health and safety issues in your home. Your basement ventilation system will exchange contaminated indoor air with fresh outdoor air and remove moisture, contaminants, allergens, and pollutants from the air. Ventilation reduces your risk of mold and mildew growth, moisture and condensation, humidity, and poor indoor air quality.
Improve Indoor Air Quality with Proper Ventilation
Our goal is to improve your indoor air quality by making sure your basement and crawlspace have proper ventilation. Poor ventilation in your basement can cause health and safety issues that affect you, your family, and even your pets. You have a higher risk of increased humidity, condensation, water damage, mold and mildew growth, and other problems that affect your home’s indoor air quality. Poor indoor air quality can cause problems like allergies, asthma, respiratory symptoms, headaches and migraines, fatigue, and cold or flu symptoms.
We can improve your indoor air quality with our efficient, affordable E•Z Breathe® system. E•Z Breathe® is an air quality system that removes contaminated air and replaces it with fresh air at least 7-10 times per day. It also removes humidity and moisture that can cause mold and mildew growth.

Explore Our Basement Ventilation Solutions
We tailor your basement or crawlspace ventilation system to your needs. We will thoroughly assess your basement or crawlspace and take precise measurements. We will measure moisture and humidity levels, take temperature readings, look for signs of foundation or floor cracks, and test your indoor air quality. This will help us determine what type and size of ventilation system is right for you:
- Natural Ventilation – Natural basement ventilation uses windows in your basement to circulate air. If your basement doesn’t have windows, this method will not work for you.
- Dehumidifiers – Installing dehumidifiers can remove damp air and moisture, making you less likely to develop mold and mildew. Your basement should have less than 60% humidity to prevent mold and mildew growth and improve indoor air quality.
- Mechanical Ventilation – Mechanical ventilation uses electric fans to remove stale, contaminated air and replace it with clean, fresh air from outside. This system uses fans with motors, pumps, and vents.
- E•Z Breathe® – The E•Z Breathe® ventilation system is a ventilation system installed on an exterior wall. It includes louvered exhaust vents that transport contaminated air to the outside of your home and circulate clean, fresh air. This system removes harmful and dangerous contaminants, reduces the risk of mold and mildew, and significantly improves indoor air quality.
