What is a Crawl Space Dehumidifier?
Crawl space dehumidifiers remove moist air from the area beneath your home. At Foundation Repair of Western Colorado, we use the AquaStop™ air system.
AquaStop™ is much more than a typical dehumidifier – it’s a complete moisture management solution specifically tailored to control the hazards of a damp crawl space.
Its commercial-grade performance is seamlessly designed to maintain dry, breathable crawl space environments, reducing wood rot, pests, musty odors, and mold growth. A crawl space dehumidifier works best as part of a comprehensive crawl space encapsulation system.
Foundation Repair of Western Colorado ensures that every component of our air system integrates into a total encapsulation system for the most efficient moisture management possible.
Signs You Need a Crawl Space Dehumidifier
Here are the signs that you should install a specialized crawl space dehumidifier:
- High humidity in your home
- Mold growth
- Musty odors inside your home
- Pest infestations
- Sagging floors
- Wood rot
- Heating and cooling ducts with visible condensation
- Unusually high energy bills
Unchecked crawl space moisture leads to severe issues. Our targeted dehumidifier system safeguards your home by controlling humidity and improving air quality.
Is a Crawl Space Dehumidifier Necessary?
High-powered, professional crawl space dehumidifier installation is a valuable investment for any home. If crawl space humidity levels remain unchecked and ventilation is inadequate, moisture will continue growing, allowing major infestations of wood rot, mold, and odorous mildew. Uncontained moisture also accelerates corrosion in pipes and ductwork, rots critical support beams and sheathing, warps flooring, and degrades insulation performance.
Acting early to address crawl space moisture is crucial for homeowners. Installing a dehumidifier and fully encapsulating the space protects your home’s structure and promotes healthier indoor air year-round.

Crawl Space Dehumidifier FAQs
Following removing any standing water, our experts install a perimeter drainage system to capture leaking water, which is then directed to a sump pump. Drainage matting also aids in guiding water to these systems. Crawl space encapsulation, insulation, and dehumidification are vital components as well. Contact Foundation Repair of Western Colorado for further information and to arrange a free inspection.
To effectively prevent water intrusion in your crawl space, waterproofing solutions such as an interior drainage system and a sump pump are crucial. Moisture management and encapsulation measures like vapor barriers, dehumidifiers, and insulation also provide comprehensive protection for your crawl space. Contact Foundation Repair of Western Colorado for a free crawl space inspection and estimate.
DIY methods might seem tempting, but we strongly discourage them. Air fresheners, standard dehumidifiers, and DIY encapsulation offer only temporary relief without addressing the fundamental cause of musty odors. Professional crawl space encapsulation from Foundation Repair of Western Colorado ensures effective, durable, high-quality materials and repair.
