A crawlspace dehumidifier is a device that processes the air in a crawlspace removing wet or humid air and replacing it with dry air. This reduces the risk of mold growth and wood rot which will improve the air quality of the home and increase home value.

Dry Otter currently installs AprilAire products. The Aprilaire E100 is commonly used. It’s Energy Star rated and manufactured in the U.S., efficient and long lasting.

Dry Otter installs dehumidifiers in encapsulated crawlspaces only. That means the vents, floor, and walls are sealed off from moisture sources, and the dehumidifier will not have to process air continually from open sources such as the earth,cracks, and vents. Placement of the dehumidifier depends on each crawlspace but optimal airflow is the goal.

A dehumidifier in the crawl space will manage air moisture, which means less risk of mold, mildew, poor air quality, and wood rot. They filter allergens and provide dryer air for your HVAC system helping with it’s efficiency as it provides comfortable air for your home.

Dry Otter offers a five year warranty through the manufacturer on the Aprilaire dehumidifiers we install.

Dehumidifiers are self contained units requiring minimal maintenance. Dry Otter does recommend periodic maintenance to clean or replace the filter, and test functionality through our an annual maintenance program.
