Dehumidifier
A dehumidifier is one
way to battle the moisture issue you have in your basement.
You have a damp and musty smell in your basement.
You know that the humidity levels are pretty high, which
means you have quite a bit of moisture in the air, but
you don’t know the best route to go in solving
the problem.
A basement dehumidifier
is a unit you can have installed in your home that work
by filtering damp, moist air over a refrigerated coil.
The moisture condenses when it filters through the unit,
which becomes water, and it drips into either a tub,
bucket, or pan, which will need to be emptied regularly.
The other side of the coil, which is warmer, reheats
the air.
While a dehumidifier
in a basement is a great way to help
remedy the moisture problem you have, it can potentially
cause damage to stone and concrete foundations.
Concrete foundations are a very porous material.
Concrete already has water trapped within it, and a
dehumidifier can draw the moisture out of the concrete.
This can result in efflorescence, as well as possibly
creating hairline cracks in your foundation.
A dehumidifier is a wonderful solution
in helping to maintain the moisture levels in the
basement, however, contacting a waterproofing company
to come in and assess the situation in your basement
is a necessary step in helping you to rid yourself
of the moisture problem in your basement.
