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.

Compact Unit Features

How It Works

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!

Best heal-your-crawl space crew ever! I highly recommend Helitech for waterproofing and foundation repair. The 3 technicians who worked on our home were all exceptional, thorough and expertly trained. Nick, Brendon and Hudson were the most diligent workers we could have wished for. Very pleased customers.

Sam was very professional and honest. I appreciated that he was knowledgeable about different solutions and took the time to match those with my needs and goals. He was kind and did not waste my time. From the many companies I talked to, this was a nice change. Honesty and kindness go a long way, plus the company has a great foundation! 🙂

Dylan and his crew, Zack, Jacob, and Arlen, installed new beams in my crawl space. The crawl space was small, but they were able to level my sagging floors. The work took just 3 days. They took away all debris and left my yard clean. Dylan was friendly and answered all my questions. He had pictures to show what was happening under my house. I was happy with the results.

Sandra

We had an absolute mess in our crawlspace. Beau arrived quickly, assessed the situation and clearly explained the work needed. He also worked diligently to provide an estimate and subsequent contract in a timely fashion. I was also thrilled with how quickly Helitech’s technicians were onsite to solve our water issue. They worked in nasty conditions, yet finished the job as promised. We are now in the dry and very pleased with their work!

I am writing to compliment (Brandon and Josh) for work completed at our house. They came at the promised time and proceeded to do their work in a timely and professional manner. They made virtually no mess or dust. They explained each step of the process, so I felt confident of their repair. Having been a licensed plumber for 36 years it was nice to see competent and professional workers. I would recommend Helitech to anyone needing similar repairs.

Very easy to work with. The quality of the products and, the knowledgeable and friendly staff made our decision to use Helitech a very easy decision.

My wife and I recently had our crawl space waterproofed by Helitech. We are very pleased with the completed work. The crew consisted of Joe M, Josh S, and George R. The foreman was Ronnie M. The job was scheduled for three days and indeed they were finished on time.

Absolutely thrilled that I decided to go with Helitech for my home’s foundation needs. My biggest mistake was not calling them first. Jon Courtney takes time to listen, assesses your situation, and creates a plan for your needs that leaves you with confidence. A massive burden was relieved from my shoulders after my meeting with Jon. Rest assured that Jon is not a salesman. He will not try to sell you on time and material that is not needed for your waterproofing & foundation repair. Jon’s priority is addressing your situation appropriately that will leave you with confidence that your home or business is in good hands. Prior to reaching out to Helitech, I sought out another company that quoted me over 30k for repairs. An astronomical sum that I was unable to mentally justify. Jon put my issue into perspective and quoted me a more than fair price for repair. I immediately cut a check. I could not be happier. If you are looking for a company to address waterproofing & foundation repair for your home or business, save yourself the stress and gray hairs and give them a call. I am confident that it will be the best decision you made for your property.

When estimate was initially done, we were a little hesitant, but the representative effectively assured us that when work began, if problems arose, work would stop and we would be immediately notified. On the day of the actual work, the crew went above in beyond. The crew was very knowledgeable which reassured us that we had made the right decision. Thank you Helitech!

Michael Mohler was the technician that came to my house to give me a quote. I had water leaking in the yard and a crack on my wall. Michael inspected under the house. I need a sump pump. I also need a lift of two beams underneath the house due to settling. Michael was very professional, on time, and knowledgeable. I received a quote that listed out each item and how much. I know exactly what my total cost would be. Helitech also offers a payment plan. I was very satisfied with the service Michael provided.

Deah Brumbaugh

I appreciate the great attitude and the discussions I had with Nick Kelton. He and I came up with the best solution for my house and family. He was very professional and I felt it was quality all the way through. Five out of five stars. I would recommend him and Helitech to any of my family or friends.
