YouTube tip video by Derek Cole advising homeowners that indoor humidity often comes from the crawl space. The presenter instructs viewers to inspect the crawl space for moisture or damage, seal the crawl space, and place a dehumidifier inside it rather than relying on a standalone dehumidifier or continuously running fans; he notes southern-climate differences and recommends using AC as needed.
To check your crawl space to see where the humidity is coming from. Chances are because air travels from bottom to top that is coming from the crawl space, the ground, into the home. You need to check that out. See if you have a moisture crawl or moisture damage in the crawl space and a moisture problem in the crawl space. We have solutions to fix that problem. It's called clean space. You can actually seal your crawl space, install a dehumidifier and you're good to go. But pretty common in this area to have a moisture problem. It's not like the north where you can run your fan all the time. In the south, you do not run your fan all the time. You put it on AC and let it run when it needs to install a dehumidifier. Because that's not the answer. It goes back to a few episodes ago. I want the cure, not the band aid. A dehumidifier is kind of like a band aid. Dehumidifier is not helping you out. Seal the crawl space, get the moisture out, put a dehumidifier in the crawl space. Just a dehumidifier is not the answer.
