Energy Efficient Dehumidifier in California

When you’re looking for dry living space in Oxnard, Moorpark, Santa Barbara, Santa Paula, or areas nearby in CA, you'll want your living space to feel, look, and smell dry. Unfortunately, having a basement waterproofing system does not necessarily mean a dry basement! Basements can become damp even if you’ve installed a basement waterproofing system. Installing a dehumidifier in the crawl space or basement can ensure that the air stays dry. If you'd like a free estimate on keeping the basement dry in CA, call or e-mail us today!

Wicking, also known as capillary action, will bring moisture into the basement. While a concrete block foundation wall may not leak, it can still feel damp because it’s wicking the water inside it to the surface of the wall like a sponge.

If you have water vapor entering into your basement walls and floor, it will need to be addressed. If you install a waterproof basement wall system and our ThermalDry Basement Floor Matting, the problem of capillary action will be addressed, and water vapor entering into the basement will be slowed down enormously.

Water can also enter your home in the form of humidity. As air enters your basement from exterior air leaking into the home, it will cool in the basement, raising its relative humidity and resulting in condensation. In the warm summertime, a great deal of warm air can enter a basement or crawl space and cool, bringing a great deal of condensation into your home.

Humidity and Crawl Space Mold in Santa Barbara, CA

SaniDry Crawl Space Dehumidifier in Moorpark

If outside air is warmer than the air inside your crawl space- and especially if the air is also humid, a crawl space condensation problem is likely to happen. And in the summer, the relative humidity levels of places like Camarillo, Goleta, Port Hueneme, and Santa Barbara can get very high! The relative humidity of the air rises by 2.2% for every degree it’s cooled. Signs of condensation in the space include mold, rot, rust, and collecting water on cool surfaces.

Once in the crawl space, this air flows upwards through the home, being pulled by the natural upwards movement of home air. This crawl space air, and all humidity, mold spores, dust mite feces, and odors in it, will enter your home. When it’s hot and humid in the summer, whether it’s raining or not, your CA crawl space may be the most humid it’s been all year! Don't let this happen in your crawl space!

Eliminating Crawl Space Mold and Dust Mites in CA

Oxnard Dehumidifier Even if you don’t get condensation in your CA crawl space or basement, high relative humidity levels will still cause mold to grow and create strong odors in your basement. And because dust mites love the high humidity levels, they’ll thrive in the home and create feces equal to 200 hundred times their body weight over the course of their life! More than 100,000 dust mites can live in a single square yard of carpet!

If you want to stop condensation, you’ll need to either heat the air (a ridiculous solution in the summer) or remove the water from the air. Removing water from the crawl space air until the relative humidity is below 55% can make the home comfortable for humans while making it impossible for dust mites and very difficult for mold spores to survive. If you want to effectively remove humidity, mold spores, and dust mites from the basement all in one shot, a quality dehumidifier is the way to go!
