Perma-Seal introduces our Active Moisture Management System (AMMS)

Jan. 28, 2010 - PRLog -- The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reminds us that radon is responsible for about 20,000 lung cancer deaths annually.  And the World Health Organization (WHO) will warn that the rampant enemy of indoor air quality is a global problem.

But lost in the important outreach announcements will be an obvious but rarely discussed truth:  Radon is only one of many soil gases that can seriously damage the health of those who live in single-family homes.

For over 30 years Perma-Seal has been the leader in keeping homeowners' basement walls and floors dry, now introduces a whole a new level of dryness: the Active Moisture Management System.

Concrete walls and floors, once sealed and installed with an appropriate drainage system, are an effective barrier against seepage even during the heaviest of downpours. Moisture vapor however can still penetrate even the best concrete and cause excess humidity in a basement or crawlspace. High humidity levels lead to mold, mildew, mustiness, and odors.

Perma-Seal’s new Active Moisture Management System (AMMS) includes a solar powered fan as part of the installation that creates an air flow system from underneath your basement and diverts moisture, gases, and odors directly to the outdoors - effectively reducing the moisture content in your home.

Perma-Seal Waterproofing was started in 1979 by the present owner, Roy Spencer. Roy had worked for two larger waterproofing companies, but was dissatisfied with their "patch now & service 'em later" type repairs, so he devised permanent repairs that he could truly guarantee not to leak. It is no wonder why in 2007, 2008 and 2009 Perma-Seal Basement Systems was nationally recognized as the world-wide leader in permanent waterproofing repairs.
