Crawl spaces are a major source of moisture infiltration that permeates up into living areas, emits odors and saturates structures. The crawl space environment is conducive to mold growth and infestation. Foundation vents are inadequate sources of ventilation and do not mechanically expel moisture to keep the area dry and free of crawl space odors. In certain climates and seasons the introduction of hot humid air into a cold crawl environment can create crawl space moisture problems.
This Humidex dehumidifier and ventilation unit is designed for crawl spaces or homes without basements. Unlike a conventional crawl space dehumidifier , it will reduce the humidity and musty odors in a crawl space with controlled ventilation in these problematic areas. Because it removes humidity, it will also stop wood from rotting which will go toward eliminating costly repairs.
“My unit was installed 10 days ago and the change in my basement has been dramatic. Our house is built on a high water table and the moisture problem in the basement had been awful. Dampness and mold could not be controlled with 2 dehumidifiers. The Humidex HDS-209 has been a welcome addition to our home. No more smell and dampness and we can now use our basement for extra storage. Thanks for making a great product.”
