Can’t decide what unit to buy

Hey so I recently purchased a home and I’ve got a 912sqft crawl space that’s a damp with some mildew and I was thinking of buying a alorair Helios dehumidifier. I just can’t decide what size will be enough the 55 ppd unit or the 35 ppd unit. Any response would be appreciated

DIY vapor barrier

I just purchased a home and the crawl space is a bit humid how would I go about installing a vapor barrier ? The crawl space has a concrete floor so I’m just worried that if I have a vapor barrier where will the water vapor go ?

Vapor barrier question

I’m buying a new home and on the inspection I noticed the crawl space is a bit humid. The crawl space has a concrete floor and I was wondering if laying a vapor barrier would be a good or bad idea for it. The crawl space has no standing water with any active leaks. If I lay the vapor barrier would that just create mold on the underside or would the water vapor just not rise through the concrete ?

Installing a vapor barrier

I’m purchasing a home with a concrete crawl space and when I did the home inspection I did notice the space was a bit humid would laying a vapor barrier on the ground cause mold issues or should I just lay the barrier ? I also plan on getting rim joist insulation
