Why do I need a dehumidifier?

Humidity is not only uncomfortable for you. Your home suffers too. High humidity can foster mold growth, damage wood structures, and promote dust mite activity. The ideal indoor humidity level for a home generally falls within the range of 30% to 50%.

High humidity levels can wreak havoc on your home, your health, and your wallet. When we think about humid basements we think of musty moist environments, but there’s more to it than that:

Mold and Mildew Growth

Humidity refers to the amount of moisture in the air. High humidity levels mean high moisture levels. Mold and mildew thrive in moist, warm environments with poor air circulation, such as basements. Mold and mildew can pose serious health concerns so addressing moisture with a dehumidifier can help reduce your risks.

Damage To Your Home

High moisture levels damage your home. Wood structures such as walls, furniture, and floors can absorb the excess moisture and lead to swelling, warping, and eventual rot. Humidity can also cause blistering/peeling paint and loose wallpaper.

Pest Infestation

Insects, such as termites and cockroaches, thrive in humid environments. High humidity can attract and support pest infestations, leading to potential damage to your home’s structure and creating an unhealthy living environment.

Musty Odors

Everybody knows the musty basement odor. Lingering humidity in areas with poor ventilation allows moisture to accumulate, and typically indicates the presence of mold and mildew.

HVAC Strain:

High humidity can make your air conditioning system work harder to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature, leading to increased energy consumption and higher utility bills.

dehumidifiers vs portable dehumidifiers

Basement dehumidifiers and portable dehumidifiers serve the same basic purpose of reducing indoor humidity levels, but they differ significantly in their capacity, coverage area, installation, and overall effectiveness.

Capacity and Coverage

Basement dehumidifiers have a higher capacity and can remove significantly more moisture from the air. As the name suggests they are designed to dehumidify large spaces whereas portable dehumidifiers work well in smaller, more specific areas.

Installation

Basement dehumidifiers can be integrated into an existing HVAC system (but are not required to be). It’s important to install them perfectly level and ensure water is always draining away from the system. Portable dehumidifiers require minimal setup and can be moved around the house as needed.

Maintenance

Basement dehumidifiers are easy to maintain once installed. They can be hooked up to a condensate pump or drained into a sump pump or French drain, so you never have to empty the water. AprilAire dehumidifiers come with a filter that should be cleaned every 6 months and last the life of the system. Portable dehumidifiers generally have a collection tank that needs to be emptied regularly, however, some have continuous drainage.

Cost

Basement dehumidifiers are typically more expensive to purchase and install compared to portable dehumidifiers. However, they provide comprehensive humidity control for larger spaces, which can be more cost-effective in the long run, especially for larger homes or areas with consistently high humidity levels.

My husband and I will be Drycrete customers for life. Can’t say enough how much we appreciate Drycrete and specifically the owner, Jason. It’s not often that you find someone who takes such personal care in their clients’ experience and repeatedly goes the extra mile to see that a job is done right and to the client’s satisfaction, and that is exactly what Jason has done for us.

Our house happens to be situated on a very high water table which means that we have a very active sump pump. Jason and his team helped ensure that we have the most effective pump configuration to ensure that we’re keeping the finished basement dry.

The team at Drycrete has been fantastic to work with and as we all know, it always starts at the top. Jason was personally involved in every step of the process, from the initial installation to follow up visits to adjust the float levels as necessary to find the right pumping frequency and has been incredibly responsive and helpful the entire time.

We thank Jason and the entire Drycrete team for their help in giving us the peace of mind that we have a dry basement thanks to the best pumping solution possible for our home.

Steve very cleverly diagnosed a dehumidifier that wasn't working (fan running so it seemed to be working) versus quoting us a very expensive solution as another company had done. Very much appreciated!! Max did a quick, clean, efficient, friendly install of a new dehumidifier two days later.

Drycrete is fantastic!!
They did exactly what they said they would do in a professional and timely manner. What more could you ask for?
The guys were great and they did a fantastic job waterproofing our 12,000 sq ft basement. They sealed cracks and installed dehumidifiers.
This is a great company from the first phone call all the way through. Don't hesitate to contact them.

I couldn’t be more satisfied with Drycrete! In March of 2020, 2 days before the world stopped, Drycrete came to my house to fix the water problem that I have had in my home for the last 20 years! Every large storm, I would have water in my basement, leaving me in knee high boots and wet vacs cleaning up the disaster , replacing carpets and repairing walls. After the most recent storm, I reached out to make sure that my pump was still good because I smelled an odor that I couldn’t identify. They sent someone right out, checked the entire system and put me on an annual check from now on! I could not be more pleased with DRYCRETE . Instead of being terrified of rainstorms, I am confident that my house will be safe and dry.

From start to finish, Drycrete was amazing! Their customer service is fantastic. The team of 7 that did our basement could not have been nicer or worked harder. They finished in one day instead of 2, and the final outcome was amazing! We couldn’t recommend Drycrete more!

My review isn't much different from anyone else's - these people are consummate professionals who are very, very good at what they do. They did an entire basement dig-out for my customers - we gained 18" of ceiling height and it transformed the space. For such a large, seemingly complex job, they made it look easy (even though I KNOW it was not!) and with so few hiccups. I would use them again in a heartbeat.

Fantastic experience. They're extremely knowledgeable and confident in their work. I got a handful of quotes from other companies large and small, they were the best at assessing and explaining everything, and pricing was actually the most reasonable as well. Would use them again in a heartbeat.

Gian arrived promptly. Very knowledgeable and courteous. Explained what he was going to be doing & promptly went to work. Upon finishing, he showed me the work he performed and explained the operation of the pumps and set me up with the application. Very happy with his work and he answered whatever questions I had. I would be happy to recommend Drycrete to anyone who should need water mitigation. Gian is a great asset to your company.

The Drycrete Team worked very quickly and did a very professional job on the french drain and sump pump installation along with a drain off in our yard. They cleaned up afterwards and left the yard and cellar clean. I’m unable to comment on functionality until we experience unusual rainfall, though my assumption is that it should work fine!
