Basement Dehumidifier Systems

Basement dehumidifier systems are an accessible way in which to help to reduce the level of moisture present in your basement. Basements can get damp for many reasons, and this can lead to a bad air quality that is heavy and unhealthy to breathe. Over 55% or so of humidity in a room can cause mold to grow radically, and this can pose even more problems.

There are many reasons why you would want to stop damp in any way possible, and a basement dehumidifier system is just one of the ways that you can do this. You may feel the following benefits if you have one installed:

• Cleaner feeling, more breathable air.
• A reduction of humidity levels so that the room becomes more comfortable.
• Less damp, and no musty odors.
• Stop mold and mildew from growing in the space.

It is best to have a larger dehumidifier system professionally installed in your basement. Small, suitcase size models are often not adequate for the challenges of below grade rooms. Direct Waterproofing can install systems that can deal with a larger volume and lower temperatures.

Do Basement Dehumidifier Systems Tackle The Problem?

The short answer to this is no. As much as a dehumidifier system will help to control the level of humidity in the air, and can provide you with a reasonable amount of benefits with very little hassle, a basement needs to be properly waterproofed to give it full protection.

Water can find its way into your home in many ways, and as long as it continues to do so, your basement may always be damp. Proper drainage, along with interior or exterior waterproofing solutions, will make sure your basement and foundations are completely free from damp.

If you have a humid basement, we couldn’t recommend a dehumidifier enough. However, we would always say that it is worth considering a more permanent and all-encompassing solution to optimize your living space, and prevent damp from ever being a problem again.
