Need a dehumidifier, but know nothing about them.
Hey everyone. Tomorrow we are closing on our house. It has a half finished basement, and the first thing I want to do is get a dehumidifier for the basement immediately, as it’s quite moist.
I don’t know anything about basements, I’ve lived in a trailer my whole life. The house is two levels, 1,373 sq/ft above and the basement with the garage attached is 1,259 sq/ft.
The house hasn’t been lived in for a while, and I noticed the wood flooring above is raised in some areas ever so slightly. I’m hopping controlling the moisture will help with that too.
I’m not sure where to start. What the best brands are, how big of one I need, etc. could anyone lead me in the right direction?
Whatever additional information you need to help, I’ll give it. I’m just not sure what to look for.
Thanks!
