Huntsville, AL - Crawl Space Dehumidifier
|
Let’s talk briefly about the dehumidification service that we offer. Any dummy knows that humidity is moisture in the atmosphere. Therefore to dehumidify is to remove that moisture, be it water or something else, from the atmosphere. In this case, the atmosphere would be the crawl space atmosphere. Depending on the location of the crawl space, whether under the garage or just in the lower level of the house in general, the amount of humidity and moisture can vary.
Being in and around the business as long as we have, we are extremely selective about the make and model of dehumidifier we use in our crawl spaces. After a lot of trial and error, our number one choice is the 90 pint Sierra Watchdog ™ dehumidifier. We use a few different sizes of this dehumidifier, but this is our favorite and in highest demand. The dehumidification process, in a sense, happens along the way without us even using a dehumidifier. As we go through the steps first of installing a drainage system and a sump pump to remove the large amounts of water, then removing the insulation, and finally encapsulating the crawl space, in many cases this is adequate. Think of the dehumidifier as an home alarm system. The first three steps of the process are comparable to the doors and locks on your home, which generally do the job of keeping your stuff protected. |

The dehumidifier is comparable to adding another layer of protection, almost guaranteeing that the moisture will stay out of the space under the house.
