Basement Dehumidifier

Your basement air is affected by the moisture which comes in naturally from the earth. No matter how much water the drain tile system, the wall systems and the sump pump carry away from your home, there will always be moisture that evaporates into the air. A dehumidifier will pull the moisture out of the air in your basement and replace it with clean, dry and healthy air. We service the South New Jersey, Southern Pennsylvania and Northern Delaware areas.

SaniDry

The SaniDry Basement Dehumidifier is the most powerful system on the market. It is big enough to do the job of dehumidifying any basement, and will drain straight to the sump pump in your basement. SaniDry takes three times as much water out of the air in your home and yet uses only as much energy as a regular dehumidifier.

Why Should I Use a Dehumidifier?

There are a few very good reasons to run a dehumidifier in your home - mold, dust mites, and keeping your belongings safe.

Air Quality

The air in your home is directly related to your health. Since most people spend 90% or more of their time indoors, the quality of your air is reflected in how you feel. Mold spores and dust mites in the air can cause respiratory problems and disease. A basement doesn't have to be wet to be unhealthy; mold only requires 50% humidity to grow. Dust mites feed on mold, so if there is mold in the air, you run the risk of dust mites in your home having a population explosion.

Using a dehumidifier ensures that the moisture is removed from your air to a safe level that will eliminate the effects of mildew and dust mites. Remember: if you smell mold, even if you can't see it, it is a problem in your home.

Storage

Using your basement as storage puts your belongings at risk. While a wet basement will have obvious effects on your belongings, basement seepage isn't the only problem you have to worry about. Humidity above 50% makes your personal belongings susceptible to mold and rot. Imagine having to throw everything in your basement away even though there is no actual water in your basement. A dehumidifier will help avoid that.
