Our trained and experienced technicians utilize quality dehumidification systems from leading brands, including Santa Fe and Aprilaire.
When you’re not feeling well, you might rely on a humidifier to add moisture to the air and soothe a sore throat or alleviate other cold or flu symptoms. The opposite of this process is dehumidification, and it may be necessary when there is too much moisture in your air. In certain spaces of the home, such as those that sit beneath the ground level, excess humidity in the air can cause issues. Crawlspaces and basements are particularly prone to these problems, making dehumidification a necessary process.
At All Dry Basement Solutions, we offer this solution to clients located throughout Albany, New York, and the surrounding area. Ignoring a moisture issue in your space can lead to mold growth, damage to the foundation, and pest infestations. These problems are costly and frustrating to deal with, so it’s always worthwhile to avoid them in the first place. Our trained and experienced technicians utilize quality dehumidification systems from leading brands, including Santa Fe and Aprilaire.

FAQs About Dehumidification
Crawlspace and basement dehumidification are critical for maintaining a healthy and structurally sound home. These locations are especially vulnerable to excess moisture because of their underground location and inadequate ventilation, which can result in mold growth, wood rot, and poor indoor air quality. Our team at All Dry Basement Solutions offers dehumidification services, ensuring your basement and crawlspace remain in tip-top condition. Keep reading to see some of the common questions we get about dehumidification.
Hidden
Why should I use a dehumidifier in my crawlspace or basement?
Poor ventilation and ground contact might lead to excess moisture accumulation in certain places. A dehumidifier protects against mold, mildew, and structural damage.
What degree of humidity should I maintain?
We recommend maintaining humidity levels between 40% and 60%. Anything above 60% can encourage mold growth and wood deterioration.
Can I use a standard household dehumidifier in my crawlspace?
Crawlspace-specific dehumidifiers are built for lower clearance, cooler, and rougher environments. Standard units may not work optimally in those conditions.
How can I tell if my basement or crawlspace needs dehumidification?
Signs include musty odors, visible mold, condensation on pipes or walls, and a wet feeling in the air.
Is it safe to run a dehumidifier unattended?
Yes, with proper installation and maintenance, it is perfectly safe to continuously run a dehumidifier. In fact, many are designed for continuous operation and have safety features such as auto shut-off.
How often should the unit be maintained?
Filters should be checked monthly and cleaned or replaced as needed. Also, it is important to make sure the drainage lines are clear for proper operation. We can review the maintenance needs with you as well as explore how we can provide ongoing support.
