Damp, humid crawl spaces are the source of many problems for your home, including mold, rot, and even structural damage to the floor joists and girder.
A moldy, musty crawl space will lead to an increase in allergenic mold spores and musty odors in the home, while also attracting pests.
Maintaining a dry crawl space can help to control this problem, maintaining a healthier and more valuable home.
More on Crawl Space Moisture
If you have a dehumidifier system installed and your crawl space is still damp, then your system is not accomplishing the job you purchased it for.
Too often, our experts at Basement Systems hear from homeowners that have installed multiple dehumidifiers in their space in an attempt to keep the space dry. In many cases, it seems like the only thing that seems to change are their energy bills!
In most cases, installing a dehumidifier will fail to dry your crawl space in the following two scenarios:
Crawl space vents bring hot, humid air into your home during the summer months. As this air enters the crawl space, it cools and deposits the humidity in the form of condensation onto all surfaces. This humidity will encourage mold and rot.
In the winter, cold air is let into the crawl space, which cools your HVAC system and water heater, costing you much more on your utility bills.
Sealing your crawl space as well as dehumidifying it will provide the most effective long-term solution for creating a dry, healthy crawl space.

The difference between choosing a powerful, energy efficient dehumidifier that's well-suited for a crawl space or installing a system that's not up to the challenge can be enormous.
A system that's not powerful enough to do the job may leave your crawl space humid, while creating significant spiking in your utility bills. An investment in a system that you can trust to do the job correctly can pay back for itself many times over in avoided energy costs and repairs.
Our SaniDry™ CX Crawl Space Air System features a powerful, Energy efficient design that's made with the low-profile ceiling of the crawl space in mind.
At only 15" inches in height, this system can fit in any but the shortest crawl spaces, and is equipped with a powerful 300CFM blowing motor that keeps dry air circulating throughout the space.
We know that most homeowners do not want to enter their crawl space often, and we've designed our system with this in mind. The self-draining, 109-pint system has no collection trays to empty, and its automatic operation turns it on and off as needed to keep your space dry.
