Basement dehumidifiers and humidity control with the right size, a drain line and a humidity monitor, so damp summer air does not turn your basement musty.
Even a dry basement can feel clammy in a Middle Tennessee summer. Warm, humid air comes in, meets cool concrete and leaves moisture on the walls, the boxes and the carpet. A dehumidifier removes that water from the air, and humidity control protects stored items, finished rooms and your nose. The trouble is choosing a unit that is big enough, built for the conditions and drained properly. Many Nashville basements run a tiny unit that cannot keep up and needs emptying every day.
We measure the basement, note how well it is sealed and how wet it feels and choose a dehumidifier sized for the space. We place it where air can circulate, connect a drain line to a floor drain, a pump or the sump pit and install a humidity monitor you can read. We discuss closing air leaks, running a fan, keeping dryer vents clear and fixing any liquid water first, because a dehumidifier cannot cope with a leak. We show you how to set the target humidity, clean the filter and check the drain.
