Air Quality Solutions

The finishing touch for cleaner air.

After you’ve managed moisture, leaks, and humidity, Continuous Infectious Microbial Reduction (CIMR) technology helps keep your home’s air cleaner by continuously reducing airborne mold spores, bacteria, viruses, and odors.

It’s quiet, low-maintenance, and safe to use continuously in homes where people live, working through your HVAC system to purify the air as it circulates.

Why Finishing the Job Matters

Even after waterproofing, encapsulation, or mold cleanup, air moving through basements and crawlspaces can still pick up leftover moisture, spores, or musty smells. These particles don’t stay below ground; they move up into your living space because of your home’s “stack effect.”

That’s why we use CIMR as the final step. It works with your waterproofing and filtration systems by treating the air directly, so you get cleaner, fresher indoor air year-round.

What is CIMR Technology?

Continuous Infectious Microbial Reduction (CIMR) is an ongoing air and surface purification system that works through your HVAC system to keep your home’s air cleaner and safer after waterproofing and remediation work has been completed.

Instead of waiting for air to pass through a filter, CIMR actively treats the air throughout your home. This gentle, always-on system helps keep musty odors and microbes under control between cleanings.

CIMR is not an air filter, and it’s safe for occupied homes. It does not produce harmful ozone and uses a self-regulating process made for long-term indoor use.

Key Benefits:

Whole-home coverage through your existing HVAC
Proactive: treats both air and surfaces, not just trapping particles
Safe for families and pets; engineered with no ozone or added scents or fragrances
Works with dehumidifiers and HEPA filters, but does not replace moisture control solutions

How CIMR Works

When your HVAC runs, CIMR releases a controlled amount of charged hydrogen peroxide molecules into the air. These active molecules move with your home’s air, finding viruses, bacteria, fungi, mold, and odor-causing microbes, even in cracks, ducts, and corners, and then neutralize them safely.

The amount released is similar to what naturally occurs in outdoor air and is completely safe for people, pets, and plants.

There are no fragrances or harsh chemicals, and the system is built for continuous use in lived-in homes.

Here’s the Process:

Where CIMR Helps the Most

CIMR is most effective when used after moisture control and cleanup have been completed. It provides ongoing protection to maintain a stable and healthy indoor air environment for the long term.

It’s Ideal For:

Homes with sealed basements or encapsulated crawlspaces
Post-remediation projects where lingering spores or odors could reappear
Families with allergies, asthma, or sensitivities to indoor air quality
Finished basements or additions drawing air from below grade
Homes in damp, wooded, or lakeside environments with seasonal humidity

Because CIMR molecules move through every part of your air system, they reach places that filters and UV lamps can’t, such as ducts, corners, insulation, and other hidden surfaces.

How Effective is CIMR?

Independent testing and field results show that CIMR technology can eliminate up to 99.9% of bacteria and viruses in the air and on exposed surfaces, while also reducing mold and odor-causing compounds.

Because CIMR operates continuously, it helps keep contaminant levels low between cleanings. This is ideal for preventing re-growth after remediation and during humid months. It treats air quality at the source, without adding chemicals or fragrances, and does not create harmful ozone.

Why Homeowners Notice the Difference:

Proactive, Not Passive

CIMR does not wait for air to come to it.

Whole-home reach

CIMR goes wherever your air can travel.

Comfort impact

Homes often feel fresher within days as musty smells fade.

CIMR is trusted in hospitals, schools, museums, and public facilities for continuous indoor protection. Now, this same technology is available for homes across Michigan.

Simple Upkeep

CIMR systems are almost maintenance-free. The active cell or bulb inside the unit usually needs replacement every 12–24 months, depending on the model and runtime.

Air Quality by Cut ‘N Dry Waterproofing handles installation, calibration, and scheduled checks. We’ll remind you when it’s time for service. Replacing the cell is as simple as changing a light bulb.

No filters, scents, or complicated cleaning routines required.

Customer Reviews

Real Home Results

Every home has a story. For many Michigan families, it started with a musty crawlspace and ended with fresher, healthier air. Here’s what some of them said after their crawlspace transformations.

I was totally impressed with the professionalism, quality and pricing of this companies work. Employees were very hard working and kept us inform of everything that they were doing. Sal, Christian, Parks, Nic, and Gage (sorry if I spelled names incorrectly) .Breanne in the front office was very helpful on keeping us inform of times and answered many questions we had regarding the job and cost. Company left property clean as it was when they got there. My crawlspace used to have a terrible moldy smell and the house humidity was very high. Since they finished the job I don't smell anything and the humanity is back to normal levels through the house. I would recommend this company to everyone!! We are completely satisfied!

Though not one to often write reviews I have to commend the Crawlspace Remediation LLC team. The work performed, workers attitude, professionalism, quality of work, communication and cooperation was great through the entire process ! The team showed up everyday and was conscientious in their work. A special shout out to Jalen, Tristan, Christian, Patrick and Joe for all their great efforts. The office support of Brianna and Brittany is also appreciated for their great communication. Lastly, Sam, the owner was exceptional to deal with. We spoke on the phone and Sam met with me personally to understand my expectations and show me how Crawl space Remediation LLC would meet my expectations. Very happy I chose a local business and I am 100% confident I made the correct choice receiving a competitive price and thorough job vs. the larger national service providers. My home feels better just days after the work was completed with improved humidity and air quality. I recommend crawlspace encapsulation and having and the work performed by Crawlspace Remediation LLC.

My husband and I needed some serious work done to our crawlspace. Buying our home, we were burdened with the previous home owners lack of Maintenance under the house. Littered with debris, garbage, hanging wires, mold, leaks. We had numerous quotes on encapsulating our crawlspace. We were skeptical from the start as anyone is hiring someone for a big job. We hired crawlspace remediation and are so incredibly thankful we did. Brendan and Ryan came out for the job. Estimated 6 day job and they even got the job done a day early. They were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Polite and professional. These two worked so hard the entire time they were here. They removed and disposed all debris/old insulation, insulated exterior walls with the foam board, insulated box headers, added vapor barriers, added drainage system, treated mold, added extended downspout, the list goes on and on. They completely saved our crawlspace, our minds are blown at what a difference it is now under our house. We are incredibly grateful for the extreme amount of quality work they performed and couldn't be happier with our choice in the company! They didn't leave any mess behind and were not disruptive to our daily routine. These guys deserve all the praise for their outstanding job! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! If you are unsure and nervous about having any work done, unsure of getting honest work for the price, please don't hesitate to give them a call. Their work and pricing is honest, quality work, and professional. We highly recommend crawlspace remediation!

I had Crawlspace Remediation come out for a full clean out and encapsulation of a 15x15 foot crawlspace under an addition to my home that desperately needed new insulation and sealing to prevent significant loss of temperature for the winter (temps were previously going down as low as 40 degrees in the addition due to the crawlspace vents being open and insulation being poor, while the rest of the house over the basement would stay warm). Jaiden and Josh were both fantastic to work with, they kept me updated throughout the process, worked around my schedule, and even considered the fact that I'm currently pregnant, bringing in organic sprays and a large HEPA filter to use during the mold remediation portion of the job to ensure I didn't breathe in any harmful chemicals. My crawlspace is very small and narrow (definitely hard to get in and out of), but Jaiden and Josh still handled the job beautifully and efficiently! Pricing was very fair (the most affordable estimate I received out of 4 different companies I contacted, and they also didn't require me to dig the crawlspace out deeper to complete the job like some other companies recommended, which also saved me a lot of money!) It was a pleasure working with them!

Note: Some reviews mention our former names, Crawlspace Remediation and Radon Control Services. Both are now part of the Cut ’N Dry Waterproofing family of services.
