Solve Basement mold, moisture, or mildew issues with the in wall or on wall dehumidifier

Looking for a permanent dehumidification system that will help solve the issues you are having with moisture, mold, or mildew in your basement? Then you have come to the right place.

Before we get into the specifics and recommended models of dehumidifiers, we want to explain basic problems that indicate the need for a unit in your basement.

What Causes a Wet Basement?

Excess moisture in basements is very common. The soil and ground that surround your home can easily transfer inside through walls, windows, vents and more. Most basements have limited amounts of sunlight and air flow that also prohibit moisture from escaping. Excess moisture can lead to higher indoor humidity and mold growth. If you are experiencing any of the problems listed below, adding a dehumidifier to your basement will help prevent mold in your home or property.

How to Identify & Resolve Basement Mold Issues

Does your basement feel “wet?”

If you walk down into your basement and your skin feels tangibly damp, humidity levels are higher than they should be. If the ground surrounding your home is wet and your basement is not, there is huge potential for the water to enter your home; water dispurses from areas of high concentration to those of low concentration.

Did you know… 1 inch of rain is equal to 27,154 gallons of water (per acre). That means 1 inch of rain on a 2,800 sq ft house is equal to 1,743 gallons.1

Odors

Typically paired with a musty smell, high humidity is known to intensify odors. A musty smell in the basement can indicate a variety of problems including the growth of mold and/or mildew, or even possible rot.

A measured humidity level greater than 55% – The surest way to know if you are having humidity issues in your basement is to purchase a hygrometer and measure your basement’s humidity level yourself. Not to worry, an inexpensive ($10) hygrometer will do the job. If the meter reads greater than 55% humidity, you know your basement is more humid than it should be.

Dust Mites

Dust mites are in roughly 4 out of 5 homes in the United States, according to the American Lung Association. A great way to fight these common pests is to keep your home below 50% humidity, including your basement.

Frost/Ice Build Up

If you’re seeing frost/ice buildup on cold surfaces, this is another indication that the moisture level in your basement is higher than should be.

Visible Rot/Decay

The number one way for something to rot is with the presence of moisture. Wood is known to change color, structure and even firmness if moisture levels are higher than normal for extended periods of time. This could result in costly structural repairs.

Peeling/Cracking Paint

Blistering, cracking, or peeling paint on walls, floors and other painted surfaces is also a good way to tell you’re having humidity issues.

We’ve got you covered!

The IW25 dehumidifier makes a great dehumidifier for basements. Not only does the installation take a fraction of the time, but it’s a fraction of the cost when compared to other portable dehumidifiers and Whole House Systems. The IW25 also has special features that other dehumidifiers don’t offer. In the event of a power outage, the IW-25 dehumidifier was designed to automatically restart, keeping your home protected. This dehumidification unit drains directly into existing plumbing (or a hub drain if applicable), or can be used with the optional Integrated Condensate Pump, so there’s no hassle with emptying condensate from reservoir tanks.

Designed for everyday use the IW25-4 is ENERGY STAR® Certified, using less energy to save you money on electric bills. Maintenance is minimal, easily access the reusable MERV-8 air filter monthly. Even better the unit is tankless, so you don’t have to worry about removing the water from the reservoir tank, or an overflowing unit. It runs quiet (sound levels 45 dbA** — comparable to a mini refrigerator) and will not intrude your family’s daily activities but will improve comfort and health. The dehumidification system includes a 5 year warranty on parts and labor (optional accessories not included) providing moisture control in your home for years to come.

What our Customers are saying….

    "We have purchased and installed about 11 of the IW25 permanent dehumidifiers, and they are performing very well.  They have remedied our ongoing problem with high RH in certain apartments, and are the perfect solution. The fact that we can install them, set, and forget them is the true beauty of the product! Previously we had tried to manage the problem by supplying portable dehumidifiers, but always had trouble.  Even with the best of intentions, the resident fails to empty the bucket, or turns the portable off because of noise, or some other reason. But the resident quickly forgets the permanent dehumidifier is even there.  It is quieter, out of  the way, and requires no effort or attention from the resident. It's been a great solution for us!"
