According to the U.S. EPA, the "typical" home in the United
States has between .5 and 1.5 air changes per hour.
Translation: If your home is somewhere in the middle, say
at 1 air change per hour (not a "tight house" but not a
"drafty house" either), this would mean that every hour
all the air in your home is replaced with new air.
Where does this new air come from? Amazingly, over 50% of
this air comes from the crawlspace.
How? As warm air rises, cool air from the crawlspace is
sucked into the living areas of the home. Called the "stack
effect," it's how a chimney works.
This, combined with other factors, means a significant amount
of the air you breathe actually came from the crawlspace.
The EmeSeal System will greatly improve the air quality
throughout your home, provding a cost-effective, permanent
solution to allergens and irritants by eliminating the source
of the problem while creating a clean, dry, sanitary storage
area and protecting the value of your home.
