ABESTORM 240CFM NeatyFresh Pro Crawl Space Fan
About Abestorm
Abestorm Crawl Space NeatyFresh Max allows for the free circulation of air on the porch and under the house. High moisture levels in the crawl spaces can lead to the decay and rot of wooden pillars that support the house, floor, joists, and beam pillars. Also, high humidity causes an increase in termite activity and the growth of fungi. Rust, which causes corrosion and leaks in metallic pipes, is also factored into the moisture level in your crawl space.
With our ventilation fan, radon gas from treated wood is expelled away. This gas and other odors can easily spread into the living room and cause discomfort. The NeatyFresh Max fan uses a humidity switch to control the fan to commence operation. The fan starts operating when the recorded humidity surpasses the selected value.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The NeatyFresh Pro Crawlspace Fan is designed to allow fresh outdoor air to circulate under the house and porch. The high humidity that circulates the crawlspace is the main reason for the premature decay of the support column, joist, floor, and crossbeam support of the home. High humidity can promote the growth of fungi and increase the activity of termites.
High humidity can also cause pipeline failure due to rust and corrosion. The continuous operation of the fan helps to vent radon, gases from treated wood, and other odors that may spread into the living area. Controlled by a circuit board, the dehumidifier control fan starts when the relative humidity is higher than the selected set value.
