What is a Crawl Space Dehumidifier?

Crawl space dehumidifiers extract excess moisture from crawl spaces. This moisture can be due to wet soil or humid weather. Over time, too much moisture can lead to mold growth and wood decay, damaging your home’s structure.

The dehumidifier works by drawing in damp air, cooling it to condense the moisture into water droplets which are then collected and drained.

To ensure the crawl space remains dry, it’s necessary for the dehumidifier to operate frequently. Most models come with a hygrometer, which measures air moisture and accordingly switches the unit on and off, maintaining a dry and healthy environment in your crawl space.

Signs You Need a Crawl Space Dehumidifier

Yes, a crawl space dehumidifier is essential for maintaining dry, healthy air quality in your home. High humidity, if uncontrolled, can harm your home’s structure, degrade indoor air quality, and result in expensive repairs.

A dehumidifier installation can avert these problems and ensure long-term protection for your home. However, a standard dehumidifier from a general store is not sufficient for a damp crawl space.

Choose Matvey Foundation Repair for superior results. We provide high-quality dehumidifiers capable of removing up to 100 pints of water daily, and they are self-draining.

How We Install a Crawl Space Dehumidifier

Our dehumidifier is part of a larger crawl space encapsulation system. By combining the dehumidifier with other waterproofing solutions, your crawl space can remain completely dry.

Here’s our process:

  • Start with a FREE inspection to determine the best location for the dehumidifier.
  • Discard any old or broken dehumidifiers in the crawl space.
  • Put the new dehumidifier in the crawl space.
  • Link the dehumidifier to a condensate pump and/or other waterproofing devices.
  • Seal crawl space vents
  • Change and seal crawl space doors for improved moisture management.
  • Set up drainage systems, matting, and sump pumps for water control.
  • Attach insulation panels to walls for temperature control.
  • Cover the crawl space with a strong vapor barrier.
  • Perform yearly maintenance checks for ongoing protection.

As experts in crawl space repair, we make sure the dehumidifier integrates perfectly with your encapsulation system.
