You cannot place just any dehumidifier in your basement and hope for the best. Basements tend to differ from the upper levels of your home for a variety of reasons. Let’s go over why store-bought dehumidifiers will not work for your basement and why you need basement experts.
Why Store-Bought Dehumidifiers Are Not Enough
Most homeowners think the only dehumidifiers out there are just the smaller machines sold at department stores. While these machines certainly are useful for other rooms within your home, they will not hold up in the basement. For one thing, basements tend to be far colder than the upper levels of your home due to the cool earth surrounding this sub-level room. Regular dehumidifiers operate best at temperatures above 65°F. The average temperature in a basement tends to fall several degrees below that.
Complete Basement Systems’ basement dehumidifiers are much more efficient and powerful than the average machine you will find at the store. Our industry-grade dehumidifiers can also remain just as efficient even in colder temperatures. You will not have to worry about these machines breaking down when you need them most. Indeed, you will not even have to think about maintaining these larger dehumidifiers since they automatically drain themselves without any assistance.
