Crawl Space Dehumidifier

The only machine that fight crawl space or basement moisture with the results you need is the SaniDry Basement Air System. Foundation Repair of Western Colorado, LLC is the Authorized Basement Systems Dealer in Colorado selling SaniDry units. It's energy star rated and circulates air up to around 2500 square feet. If you are encapsulating your crawl space, it is important to include a dehumidification system. Houses naturally draw air in from the lower levels, bringing in air from the outside through your crawl space. This is known as the stack effect, and it can bring up the relative humidity levels throughout a whole house. Up to 40% of the air on the first floor can come from the crawl space below. And that means if mold and rot are thriving in the joists, you are exposed to the mold spores, air pollutants, and other allergens.

During humid periods, every degree that air cools raises its Relative Humidity by 2.2%, so when warm air is pulled into your cool crawl space the additional moisture will condense on your air conditioning ducts, CleanSpace system and even the floor joists. Wood and water are a bad combination. All it takes is a little moisture on an organic material for rot and mold to take over.

There are only two ways to remove moisture: Heat the air to lower the Relative Humidity or you can attack the problem directly with a sophisticated and efficient dehumidifier.

Most dehumidifiers, however, are simply not up to the job. The small coil of a regular dehumidifier is inefficient at pulling moisture from the cooler, crawl space air, so it has to run longer and work harder. Additionally, many dehumidifiers do not deal significantly with filtering the air.

Energy Efficient Crawl Space Dehumidifier

The clear solution is a dehumidifier that is designed specifically for a damp crawl space. After dealing with this problem for nearly 20 years, Basement Systems developed a dehumidifier to meet strict Energy Star requirements while maximizing the amount of water pulled from the air - the perfect solution for crawl space moisture. The end result, the SaniDry Crawl Space Air System, can pull almost three times as much water from the air as its leading competitors all while using less electricity. The SaniDry also has a two-stage filtration system that handles particles all the way down to two microns in size, cleaning your crawl space air while it sucks out the moisture.
