What is the first step to dehumidifying my space?

Sealing air leaks in your basement or crawl space is crucial when dehumidifying the area. This prevents moisture and cold air from entering the space again. Caulk windows, door frames, and inspect outside vents to ensure a proper seal.

Dehumidifiers extract moisture from the air, preventing mold growth, musty odors, and structural damage. Consider the size of the area, humidity level, and energy efficiency when choosing a dehumidifier. Proper maintenance, such as cleaning filters and emptying water tanks, is essential for optimal performance.

In addition to using a dehumidifier, improve ventilation, use fans, and keep moisture-absorbing indoor plants to reduce humidity naturally.
