HumidiGuard Crawl Space Dehumidifiers

Managing crawl space humidity is an important part of caring for your home. A dehumidifier removes moisture from the air beneath your floors and supports the other moisture-control measures installed in your crawl space.

Crawl Space Brothers installs HumidiGuard dehumidifiers. We assess the size and conditions of your crawl space before recommending a model and installation plan. Standing water and active leaks need drainage or repairs; a dehumidifier works alongside those measures.

Professional installation includes a drainage route for the collected moisture. We explain the applicable equipment warranty and maintenance requirements so you know how to care for your system.

HumidiGuard dehumidifiers are used in crawl spaces and basements to help control humidity. A unit sized for the space helps manage damp conditions and reduce condensation on surfaces beneath the home.

Collected moisture drains through a connected drainage system, with a condensate pump where needed. This supports regular operation without relying on a homeowner to empty a portable collection tank.

During your inspection, we consider the crawl space layout, moisture sources, and other recommended repairs. We then explain which HumidiGuard model fits the plan, where it will be installed, and how its drainage and maintenance will be handled.

When it comes to protecting the life of your home and your foundation, prevention is the name of the game. If you find that your crawl space or basement has a foul odor, mold or mildew, or a pest problem in the warmer months, a dehumidifier can help prevent these problems from returning once they have been identified and repaired.

An excellent crawl space dehumidifier can benefit your home in many aspects. The biggest being mold growth prevention and discouraging pests. When mold and mildew become excessive in or under a home due to water and moisture in a crawl space or basement, they can create many problems for your family and health. They can worsen or create allergy symptoms, worsen asthma or other respiratory issues, cause nasal or sinus congestion or infection, develop a chronic cough or sore throat, making breathing difficult, and cause skin or eye irritation.

However, mold can only grow when the relative humidity is above 55%, so a dehumidifier can easily prevent mold spores from taking root in your crawl space. This can save you the cost of dealing with it later down the line and prevent mold and mildew particles, and other allergens that are bad for your health from entering the home.

Moisture in your crawl space is like an open invitation to pests, such as rodents, bugs, and mites. Problems such as termites or mites can wreak havoc on your home’s foundation and are extremely difficult to get rid of once they have infested your home. Luckily mites cannot survive in 50% humidity or less, so humidity control is an excellent way to prevent mites from damaging your home.

Crawl Space Brothers can assess the moisture conditions beneath your home and recommend a repair plan. Depending on the findings, that plan may include drainage, crawl space encapsulation, and a HumidiGuard dehumidifier.
