What's Hidden In Your Crawlspace Will Eventually End Up In Your Home...
Your home is constantly filled with tiny, invisible mold spores that float through the air. These spores are the main cause of allergies. An untreated, vented crawlspace is an air quality disaster waiting to happen. The bare earth under your home contains high levels of moisture. Natural airflow patterns, called the “Stack Effect” draws the air from the crawlspace upwards into your home. This air brings with it not only mold spores that can affect your health, but also moisture that enters your floor framing system, opening the door for wood rot.

Every home has vents in the roof allowing warm air to escape. Warm air inside your home is always rising and slowly escaping through your roof vents. In return, air is sucked up into your home from the crawl space beneath. Humidity in your crawl space allows mold to grow into colonies and release spores. In a crawl space with a humidity problem, you will find a metropolis of fungus constantly spewing out spores, day and night, all year long, that are sucked upward and distributed into the home's living area.

Where There is Moisture, There is Vermin...
Spiders, snakes, centipedes, silverfish, cockroaches, rats, mice, tiny dust mites and termites all love living in the shady, damp crawl space under your home. Wood floors and floor joists often fall prey to moisture damage. Floors squeak and warp, support beams rot and all that moist wood makes ideal food for termites. Moisture, dirt, dust mites and particles from the unhealthiest part of your home are sucked up through your floors and pass through your entire house. This is the single biggest cause of indoor odors and allergies.

You should also know that humidity in the crawl space leads to humidity throughout the home, which leads to dust mites (another big allergy & asthma trigger). A home with mold problems is likely to have dust mite problems as well. Similar to mold, dust mites lay dormant until favorable moist conditions allow them to thrive. Humidity provides the water source for a slew of microscopic (and larger) organisms that live in your crawl space and walls. An entire food chain of organisms exists within your home with microscopic organisms at the bottom and larger ones, like spiders and mice at the top. All of these organisms are known to contribute to poor indoor air quality and allergies.
There's a lot more nasty stuff caused by gloomy crawl space humidity than people expect. But... if you are researching around the internet and made it to this website, you're on the right track to finding the solution.

Crawl Space Dehumidifiers

To accommodate most homes, we developed two crawl space models:

(which we call the PLUS for short)

&

(which we call the COMPACT for short)

To guide you in finding the correct dehumidification solution, call our toll free number (1-800-564-0667) and talk to one of our application engineers.  By providing a few parameters about your home, we can correctly size the right dehumidifiers for your specific needs.  Usually one dehumidifier is all it takes, but for special circumstances,  more units may be needed to do the job.  If you are the type of person that likes to "do it yourself" -- we provide you with all the information so you can properly size your own application.

What Size Crawlspace Dehumidifier Do I Need?

Here's what most people don't know about choosing the right dehumidifier for a crawlspace. Most people only go by pints removed per day... THIS CAN BE MISLEADING. What's just as important is airflow ...this is where other crawlspace dehumidifiers fall short. Airflow tells you how powerful the fan is, measured in CFM (cubic feet of airflow movement per minute). Measuring the airflow by CFM determines how many times all of the air in your crawlspace can pass through the dehumidifier each minute. To effectively dehumidify your crawlspace, all the air in your crawlspace must pass through the dehumidifier 3 to 6 times every hour.

Now that you know your CFM requirement, choose the right size and number of dehumidifiers to obtain your CFM.  It's OK if your unit has a little more power than what you need.  That just means it will run less often and use less electricity.

Once you have satisfied your CFM requirement, make sure you have approximately enough pints per day.  This table below is based off Energy Star data.  Find your square feet (not cubic feet) in the left column and slide over to the appropriate humidity level to reveal your necessary Pints Per Day.
 

Finally, check the table below to be sure the crawlspace dehumidifiers you selected will provide approximately enough Pints Per Day.

Proper Crawl Space Dehumidifier Installation

For maximum efficiency, the proper installation needs to be followed. In some situations, an oversized dehumidifier can compensate for lack of crawlspace preparation. Here are our recommended steps to prepare your crawl space:
1. Close vents.

2. Identify and eliminate sources of moisture.
3. Seal with plastic vapor barrier.
4. Install dehumidifier.
 
Despite outdated government codes that require openings for every crawl space, contractors and air quality professionals working in the field every day have learned that the best way to control humidity is to seal the crawl space. The first thing to do is to go close your crawl space vents. If you have dirt or gravel at the bottom of your crawl space, that's ok. Though you may want to remove any debris, building materials or random junk that somehow ends up in your crawl space. This next step is highly recommended: use plastic sheeting (minimum 4 mil thickness) to cover the ground and seal part way up the walls of your crawl space. (In new construction, this is called a vapor lock or vapor barrier.) Finally, the crawlspace dehumidifier can be strapped to floor joists or rest on a cinder block. Be sure to run the drain hose down and out of your crawl space and away from the foundation of your house. A condensation pump is available if you need to run the hose up and over any obstacles.

Energy Star Rating

Do you like saving money on your energy bills? Our Energy Star efficient commercial grade dehumidifier will outperform any Energy Star rated appliance grade dehumidifiers you can find at any local retail stores.

Energy Star ratings are generally used for residential or appliance grade dehumidifiers, which are intended to operate in a room at 80°F. This is also consistent with AHAM ratings. These commonly found Energy Star rated dehumidifiers only work efficiently in ideal conditions. As temperatures drop, so do most other dehumidifier efficiencies.
A crawlspace provides far from ideal conditions. Your crawlspace is the most humid and usually coldest place in your home. Using an appliance grade dehumidifier from a local department or home improvement store in an environment for which it was not designed, will work its little compressor harder and longer than was ever intended - eating up your electricity far beyond your worst appliances. If you don't believe us, buy one and watch your energy bill skyrocket. Then come back here and get a workhorse built for harsh crawl space environments.

As for Energy Star compliance? Dehumidifier energy efficiency is measured in liters of water removed per kilowatt-hour of energy consumed.  Both Dri-CrawlSpace^® dehumidifier units are well within Energy Star compliance guidelines of 1.20 - 2.25 Liters per Kilowatt-Hour!

How Much Would You Pay For Your
Family to Live & Sleep in Healthy Clean
Air, Free of Crawl Space Mold & Moisture?

What would you pay to protect your home investment?

The Most Expensive Option Is Doing Nothing.
Ignoring the problems going on in your crawlspace will eventually cost you more money down the road. Repairing wood rot or eliminating termites only gets more expensive as the damage they cause increases.

How About the "El Cheapo" Route?  You can spend a couple of hundred dollars or less on an off-the-shelf, appliance grade dehumidifier from your local home improvement store and try to fit it in your crawl space. Unfortunately, you get just what you paid for. These dehumidifiers are not even in the same class as a commercial grade dehumidifier. They are designed to work in a bedroom or living room. They can not come close to handling the load presented by crawl space humidity and temperatures. You can expect it to freeze over and shut down in less than a year. Plus, who wants to crawl in there every other day to empty the bucket?

We Found the Sweet Spot!  Maximum value rests between these two solutions. Home owners with a little do-it-yourself attitude can achieve the best results at a minimal cost by saving big money on labor and spending a sensible amount on a well researched, quality crawl space dehumidifier. Our Dri-CrawlSpace® Dehumidifier technology used in combination with closing your vents gives you maximum value for your investment.
