What is a Crawl Space Dehumidifier?

Crawl space dehumidifiers remove extra moisture from crawl spaces, which can become damp due to wet soil or humid weather. Excess moisture can lead to mold growth and wood rot, damaging your home’s structure.

The dehumidifier works by pulling in moist air, cooling it, and condensing the moisture into water droplets. These droplets are collected in a tank inside the dehumidifier and then drained away.

To keep the crawl space dry, the dehumidifier needs to run frequently. Most dehumidifiers have a hygrometer that measures the air’s moisture level and automatically turns the dehumidifier on and off as needed, ensuring the air in your crawl space stays healthy and dry.

Is a Crawl Space Dehumidifier Necessary?

To maintain dry and healthy air quality in your home, a crawl space dehumidifier is essential. Without one, high humidity can damage your home’s structure, harm indoor air quality, and lead to costly repairs.

Installing a dehumidifier helps prevent these issues and provides long-term protection for your home. Keep in mind that a standard dehumidifier from a big box store isn’t powerful enough for a damp crawl space.

For the best results, work with Mount Valley Foundation Services. You’ll receive a high-quality dehumidifier that can remove up to 100 pints of water per day and is self-draining.
