How can I Remove Moisture and Humidity from my Basement Permanently?

The air in a Basement is often higher in Moisture Content and carries with it various Allergens and Musty Odors. When these conditions linger and remain above 60% relative humidity for extended periods of time, mold, mildew, and bacteria growth is stimulated.

The American Lung Association, American Medical Association, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommend maintaining relative humidity levels in the 30% – 50% range. Ventilation and air conditioning alone cannot provide the protection offered by a high capacity dehumidifier like the Santa Fe Classic that we offer.
