In April, we wrote about the rising number of people suffering from allergies in recent years. This month, we observe Asthma Awareness Month. The Environmental Protection Agency has released event planning information for individuals interested in either planning or attending local events to build asthma awareness in their community. In addition, the EPA has outlined five simple ideas that all homeowners should follow to help reduce potential asthma triggers by improving the air quality inside our homes.

Please visit our Asthma Awareness Month section on Emecole.com for additional information about the negative consequences resulting from excess moisture, mold and dust mites. Unfortunately, such problems are not exclusive to asthma sufferers. Moisture, mold and dust mites may affect anyone. It is especially important to minimize such problems. Ensuring that the basement and crawl space is completely dry is a logical first step.

Homeowners may also visit our Basement Sealing Products section for contractor and do-it-yourself solutions for all basement problems concerning water, moisture and indoor air quality control.
