What Is the Best Dehumidifier for a Crawl Space?

When you start looking for a dehumidifier to place in your crawl space, you’ll want to know that you’ve invested in a system that can not only pull moisture from the air but that can work with any other waterproofing measures you have in place to reduce the risk of mold and structural damage throughout your home.  

Size Does Matter  

You’ll also want to take this time to determine how powerful you want your dehumidifier to be. The options provided by JES Foundation Repair work well in smaller crawl spaces. If you live in an area that sees a significant amount of rain over the course of a month, however, that you may need heavier waterproofing measures to ensure your crawl space doesn’t get so humid in the first place. 

Function is Important 

Typical dehumidifiers have buckets or reservoirs of the collected moisture that need to be emptied regularly. If you rarely go into your crawl space, this can be problematic. That’s why it’s important to have a unit that you can essentially “set and forget.” The dehumidifiers installed by JES Foundation 

Repair are self-draining and can be directed to drain into a sump pump or condensate pump. 

If you’re not sure where to start when shopping for a dehumidifier, you can collaborate with a professional contractor working in your area. Together, you can inspect your crawl space for signs of damage and determine how powerful (and with how many other solutions) you need a dehumidifier to be.
