Seal Your Crawl Space From Outside Air
We see crawl space dehumidifiers set up like the one shown all too often. Notice the cans underneath the legs, placed there to keep it above the floodwater line.
This poor dehumidifier doesn’t stand a chance! Two-foot floods aside, this system is up against a vented crawl space. As soon as it dries the air, new outside air is there to replace it, and it will never keep up.
Your unit can’t possibly work in a vented space, no matter how powerful it is. What a dehumidifier will do is run continuously, costing you a bundle in utility bills.
If you ever have standing water in the space, install a crawl space sump pump before trying to dehumidify. You should also seal off the vents and install a crawl space vapor barrier. This will limit the amount of water vapor and humidity in your crawl space.
Install A Self-Draining Dehumidifier
Once you’ve installed your crawl space dehumidifier, you’re probably not going to want to think about it again. However, if that dehumidifier includes a water collection tray, your dehumidifier may be full to capacity and shut off automatically in as little as 12 hours.
Who wants to go into their crawl space every day to empty a collection tray? Even in a clean, well-maintained space, it’s a chore most people would pass on if they could.
Our AquaStop Air System has got you covered. With a self-draining design, it can remove approximately 100 pints of water per day in your crawl space, without ever needing to have its collection tray emptied. It can empty to a sump pump or drywell, or a special condensation pump can be added to discharge the water outside of your home.
Find A Powerful Dehumidifier
If you have a dehumidifier in your crawl space, and the area is still damp, musty, and moldy, then you can make an obvious conclusion: it’s not doing its job.
The answer is not to buy a second dehumidifier! Twice the units means twice the noise, twice the electricity used, and very often, a crawl space that is still damp.
The AquaStop™ Air System is a crawl space dehumidifier that’s strong enough for the job! Its powerful blowing motor will circulate air throughout your humid crawl space, drying everything out and keeping it dry all the time!
Make Sure It’s Energy Efficient
Typical hardware store dehumidifiers can really tank up on energy usage! In many cases, these systems can cost you 11 cents or more to remove a single pint of water from your crawl space.
Hardware store systems simply don’t have a large enough cold coil space to efficiently remove water from the air. Small coils mean the system works harder, which means you pay more to run an inferior dehumidifier.
Our AquaStop Air System has a unique heat exchange system that helps it achieve an ENERGY STAR® rating, and it is optimal for the cool crawl space environment!
