Basements are often known to possess high humidity levels due to their confined space which leads to dampness, and catalyzed by reduced airflow in such spaces. Hence, basements and crawl spaces require a unit with a moderately high moisture extraction capacity.
Additionally, systems specifically designed for basements and crawl spaces need to have a sturdy construction to withstand the high and fluctuating humidity levels without compromising performance and need to be anti-corrosive in nature with a durable exterior body!
Home dehumidifiers comparatively have a smaller humidity removal capacity, but offer an ideal solution for use in basements and crawl spaces, due to their innovative design and engineering for use in residential properties.
