Ozone:
Im getting ready to sell a house and got an ozone machine after some reading.
It creates ozone and sterilizes the air with UV light as a bonus. Ozone is what they use to make used cars smell new. It oxidizes any organic matter very quickly, meaning if bad smells come from organic matter, this will help. Since it's gas it gets everywhere, think a gas hydrogen peroxide.
It's not safe to breath at all. Some use it to kill pests. I've used it on a few rooms with many old boxes that had a general old attic smell. Also a section of basement that had a musty basement smell. It helped both significantly and I can see myself using this over the course of my life.
Moisture:
My basement has muggy air, yet no signs of leaks ect. It had some months ago but it was taken care of. I got a dehumidifier that empties the water into a big bucket. I've had to empty about 1.5 gallons of water every day for about 8 days. I have no idea where this moisture is coming from. I just want to make sure it smells fresh and looks nice since it wont be my worry for much longer, but it's a mystery.
I don't understand why they don't just build all houses on stilts like you see in the gulf coast.
In the long run you'd never have to worry about this stuff. People build whole sections of houses into grounds with materials they know will only last so long, then home owners in high moisture area just have this never ending issue with it. Everyone talks about moisture. People see it as just something normal to put it with. If you could build a house just a few steps off the ground it would do.
