Crawl Space Dehumidifiers in Southern Virginia
Have you ever wondered if your home needs a dehumidifier?
The Richmond, Chesterfield, and Williamsburg areas are known to have heavy humidity throughout the year. In homes with crawl spaces humidity and moisture can often lead to mold and mildew buildup, rotting wood, and fallen insulation, which can lead to extremely expensive home repairs. To get ahead of these major problems installing a dehumidifier your crawl space can remove the risk of moisture damage.
What does a Crawl Space Dehumidifier do?
The beating heart of any crawl space is a dehumidifier. A crawl space dehumidifier helps dry the wood under the floorboards and even the air so moisture damage can’t take place. It then will monitor and turn on when the humidity reaches 55% in the crawl space. Our dehumidifiers will also work to purify the air in your crawl space which can in turn improve the odor of your crawl space. Additionally if mold was present in your crawl space dehumidification can cause that mold dormant stopping the damage in its tracks.

First thing to know when looking for a crawl space dehumidifier is that not every single dehumidifier would work for your home. Which dehumidifier your home needs should be determined by a professional who has an understanding of the different brands, dimensions of the unit, square footage of the crawl space, positioning of the unit, and the cohesion between encapsulation and crawl space dehumidifier. As well as being able to properly install a drain line outside the home so the collected moisture can be released. Here at Vance Insulation we pride ourselves on choosing the best brands for crawl space humidifiers which includes Aprilaire and Seaira to best serve the homes in our service area.
The Don’ts of Crawl Space Dehumidifiers
One of the most common mistakes people will make when thinking about crawl space dehumidifiers is thinking a household dehumidifier will work for their crawl space. Most household dehumidifiers do not have the ability to handle large amounts of square footage. In most cases crawl spaces can be thousands of square feet, so if you tried to use a unit you may only be effective in a fraction of the space. Additionally the water collected in those units would have to be drained manually in most cases. This can all be easily avoided by using a trusted professional to install a crawl space dehumidifier.
