What is a Crawl Space Dehumidifier? 

Crawl space dehumidifiers remove moist air from crawl spaces, which get damp because of wet soil or humid weather. Too much moisture in the crawl space can lead to mold and wood rot (both of which harm your home’s structure).

The dehumidifier pulls in the moist air, cools it down, and turns the moisture into water droplets. These droplets are collected in a tank within the dehumidifier and then drained away from the crawl space.

To keep your crawl space dry, the dehumidifier needs to run often. It usually has a hygrometer that measures air moisture and turns the dehumidifier on and off as needed, keeping the air in your crawl space healthy and dry.
