How I changed from a 3rd generation waterproofer to a 1st generation Basement Health Specialist

As is the case with most fathers, my baby girl is the center of my world. When my daughter was 2 years old, her younger brother was born. The same week we brough him home from the hospital, my daughter came down with a runny nose and fever. With a newborn baby in the house, this was a concern. Given that it was the middle of summer, it was even more concerning since it didn’t seem likely to be a normal cold. By the next day, both my wife and I were experiencing the same symptoms as my daughter. Fortunately, my son escaped from developing any symptoms.

But, knowing what I know about foundation health and the possible health effects of poor indoor air quality, I decided to investigate our crawlspace. Sure enough, I found mold! Because it was a holiday weekend, the mold company said they couldn’t get out there for 4 days. I’m sure any parent can relate to the panic that came over me when I heard that. I had a newborn baby in a moldy house, and I couldn’t fix it for 4 days! I felt helpless and terrified.

But then I remembered something that I had learned at a recent Basement Health Association seminar. A speaker there had talked about installing ventilation systems at the foundation level to create a cleaner air exchange throughout the house. I had one of his units sitting in my shed that I had intended to install, but never quite got around to it. Well, at this point I had nothing to lose and not many other options – so I installed it. Within 24 hours of turning on the EZ-Breathe machine, we were all symptom free!

Words cannot adequately express how relived I was knowing that my young children were now safe from the dangers of mold. That was the day that I stopped selling basement waterproofing, and started helping people understand the importance of comprehensive Basement Health Solutions. And it all started because my daughter had a runny nose.
