Crawl Space Dehumidifier

Heal Your

Musty Crawl Space

Crawl spaces often feel musty due to high humidity levels, as foundation vents allow outside air in, fostering mold, pests, and odors. This isn’t just confined to your crawl space—over half of the air in your home rises from the crawl space, carrying moisture, mold spores, and dust mites.

Helitech’s crawl space dehumidifier effectively removes excess moisture, enhancing air quality throughout your home. As trusted foundation repair and waterproofing experts, Helitech has safeguarded homes since 1987, providing reliable solutions to protect your home and family’s health.

A Guide to

Crawl Space Dehumidifiers

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) states that poor indoor air quality can lead to health issues like eye irritation, allergies, headaches, and respiratory conditions such as asthma. Often, these issues stem from mold and dust mites, which thrive in damp environments. Keeping indoor moisture levels in check is a reliable way to reduce these risks.

Before getting a crawl space dehumidifier, here are some key features to look for:

It’s important to research thoroughly before choosing a crawl space dehumidifier rather than simply going for the least expensive model. Quality dehumidifiers effectively manage high moisture levels, rated by their “gallons removed per day,” indicating how much moisture they can remove from the air. Beyond product descriptions, read customer reviews to gain insight into each dehumidifier’s real-life performance, ensuring you select a reliable unit suited for your home’s crawl space needs.

To effectively control humidity in your crawl space, your dehumidifier needs to cycle through all the air every few hours. This requires a high airflow, measured in CFM (cubic feet per minute), and a strong fan. High-capacity dehumidifiers, like the one we recommend at Helitech, can handle up to 110 pints of water per day, far surpassing compact models that manage only around 70 pints. For the best results, review product specifications and customer experiences to confirm the airflow meets your crawl space needs.

A dehumidifier with a pump is essential for keeping your crawl space dry, especially since most crawl spaces sit low to the ground. The pump moves water upwards for proper drainage, preventing moisture buildup that can lead to mold growth, pest infestations, and structural damage. Keeping your crawl space dry with a pump-equipped dehumidifier also boosts your home’s air quality, as crawl space air affects your indoor air. 

Choosing a trusted crawl space dehumidifier installation company is crucial for effective moisture control in your home. At Helitech, we understand that a successful installation goes beyond just placing equipment; it requires the right combination of dehumidifiers, ventilation, vapor barriers, and drainage. Our experienced team will design and install a tailored air system that works seamlessly to protect your crawl space and keep your home dry. With Helitech, you get proven expertise and a commitment to quality, backed by decades of experience in crawl space waterproofing.

Helitech’s American-made, Energy Star-rated dehumidifier creates a healthier crawl space by effectively removing moisture from the air, keeping it inhospitable to dust mites, mold, and other allergens. Here’s how it works:

  1. Air Intake: Moist air enters through a high-efficiency MERV filter.
  2. Condensation: As air cools over the evaporator coil, water condenses and drains outside.
  3. Reconditioning: Dry air is heated and recirculated to maintain comfortable humidity.

Helitech’s solution achieves optimal air quality for your home, ensuring fresher air and preventing mold or mildew. Heal your home’s air with Helitech!
