Indoor Air Quality

Consider the air you’re breathing in your home. Is it fresh and clean, or does it feel stale and humid, particularly in your basement? The EZ Breathe Ventilation System could be your answer. It efficiently expels polluted air and draws in fresher air from above, keeping humidity in check while thwarting mold and musty odors. This system not only improves your indoor air quality but also promotes a healthier environment, essential for those most vulnerable like kids and seniors. Intrigued? Let’s explore how this energy-efficient solution can make a difference in your home.

Basement Ventilation Systems

Basement ventilation is a key player in maintaining a healthy and safe home environment. When you neglect this, you’re risking the growth of harmful molds and mildews that can compromise your health. Damp, stagnant air can create an ideal breeding ground for such nuisances.

Now, you might be thinking, “But I’ve got windows and doors, isn’t that enough?” Unfortunately, it’s not. Traditional methods of ventilation often fall short in providing the adequate airflow needed for a healthy basement. That’s where the EZ Breathe Ventilation System comes into play.

This system works tirelessly to combat the common issues associated with poor basement ventilation. It expels the stale, polluted air from your basement, creating a vacuum that pulls down fresh, dry air from the upper levels of your home. You’re not just moving air around; you’re effectively replacing it.

Moreover, this system helps maintain ideal humidity levels, preventing the build-up of condensation which can lead to structural damage.

Conclusion

To sum up, the EZ Breathe Ventilation System is a game-changer for indoor air quality. It’s not just about reducing humidity and preventing mold; it’s about improving your overall health and wellness. This system is energy-efficient, cost-effective, and specially designed to protect the most vulnerable. So, why wait? Make the smart move and invest in the EZ Breathe system for a healthier, fresher home environment. You owe it to yourself and your loved ones.

We are a 2nd generation family owned and operated business that has been working in homes with basements and crawl spaces for over 40 years.  We have been waterproofing and sealing about 500 foundations a month during that time as the largest Waterproofing contractor in the Midwest with 15 locations servicing 8 states.

20 years ago we would seal a foundation and recommend a standard dehumidifier to address the additional water vapor (humidity in the air) inherently found in below grade environments, such as basements and crawlspaces.  Back then, dehumidifiers were the industry standard to help with this problem. However, many of our customers were looking to us as the “foundation expert”, asking…

“What else do you have? I really am not getting results with this messy, expensive dehumidifier. My foundation is dry, walls are dry, floor is dry, so why does it still smell and feel like a basement?” 

We needed to find something better. Our company’s core values include offering world class customer service to every customer, every time.   So, we challenged our Research and Development department to find a real solution for our customers to combat not only the moisture, but also the odors, pollutants and unhealthy environment our customers were concerned about. We found, tested and installed a ventilation product for a period of three years. We private labeled that product as the EZ Breathe Ventilation System. The feedback in those first three years from our customers, as well as our installation crews, did not live up to the standard of quality to be included in our waterproofing process that offered a life time warranty. Once again, we needed something better.

We valued not only the results, but what we were learning from our customers. So, we went back to the drawing board, took matters into our own hands and made quality improvements to that first generation ventilation unit.

Our own EZ Breathe Ventilation System was born…reengineered, redesigned and much improved! We quickly learned that our crews were thrilled with the quality improvements, ease of operation and installation, but more importantly, our waterproofing customers loved the new, improved EZ Breathe unit as well.

Their feedback told us the air in their basements and crawlspaces felt better, but their entire home was benefiting from their EZ Breathe as well. We received countless letters thanking us because their whole house felt different, less odors, fresher air upstairs too, family members were feeling better, needing less allergy medicine, husbands were no longer snoring, children were no longer coughing as much, the home and it’s family were living healthier lives!

It was time for us to move beyond simply offering this innovative technology to just our waterproofing customers. Our passion and commitment to helping people improve their indoor air environments is what drove us to incorporate EZ Breathe Ventilation Systems as an independent company in 2003. We strongly believe that homeowners everywhere deserve a healthy indoor air quality.

We have spent the last 20 years dedicated to learning about the relationship between our home and our health; indoor air quality, the home as a system, building science and how it relates to indoor air quality as well as the challenges our modern day practices pose to the quality of air we breathe in our homes.
