For starters basements tend to be musty and dark so it’s not likely that any type of good can grow. If your basement currently has drywall installed and has been like that for some time now, you can be assured of one thing. There is mildew or mold growing on the back of your basement drywall. Why is this? Because the drywall attracts the moisture that comes through the stone or concrete foundation of your home. The drywall becomes a breeding ground for mold and mildew to grow. Overtime it gets into the air you breath in your basement.
Do you really want your family breathing air that has mold and mildew spores floating in it? Didn’t think so. That’s why so many homeowners who research the Owens Corning® Basement Finishing System® for their New England home tend to choose it.
A lot of has to do with the wall paneling system that’s been created. It’s not like your typical drywall. Because of this, moisture does not build up on the wall panels. No, it actually passes into the room so that a dehumidifier can catch it and properly discard it as needed. For this reason alone, it’s is next to impossible to see mold or mildew on the back side of our wall panel systems. And because of that, you can rest assured that your family’s health is not at risk in your brand new basement.
