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
What is CIMR Technology?
CIMR (Continuous Infectious Microbial Reduction) 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 Indiana.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have questions about CIMR or indoor air treatment?
You’re not alone. Most homeowners want to know exactly how this technology works before deciding if it’s right for their home. Here are some of the questions we hear the most about CIMR and how it fits into your air quality plan.
Is CIMR safe for families and pets?
Yes. CIMR uses a low-level photocatalytic process that is completely safe for continuous operation in occupied spaces. It does not produce ozone or introduce chemical residues.
Can CIMR replace a dehumidifier or mold remediation?
How soon will I notice a difference?
Most homeowners report fresher air and reduced musty odors within days of installation.
What's the lifespan or upkeep cost?
The active cell or bulb generally lasts 12–24 months. Replacement cost varies by model, but we’ll provide a clear maintenance schedule and pricing upfront.
How effective is it against mold and bacteria?
CIMR has been independently tested to reduce airborne and surface contaminants by up to 99% under controlled conditions. This makes it an effective long-term solution for maintaining healthy indoor air.
