Crawl Space Dehumidifier Installation
Even after waterproofing or encapsulation, humidity can remain trapped beneath your home. Crawl space dehumidifiers provide active moisture control to keep humidity levels within a safe range year-round.
Schmitt Waterproofing installs professional-grade crawl space dehumidifiers designed specifically for sealed and conditioned crawl spaces.
Why Crawl Space Dehumidification Matters
High humidity in a crawl space can cause:
- Mold and mildew growth
- Musty odors entering the home
- Wood rot and structural decay
- Reduced HVAC efficiency
A properly sized dehumidifier prevents these issues by continuously removing excess moisture from the air.
Protect What Matters Most

Proper System Sizing
We select dehumidifiers based on crawl space size, moisture levels, and airflow needs — not one-size-fits-all units.
Professional Installation
Dehumidifiers are installed for optimal drainage, airflow, and accessibility, ensuring reliable long-term operation.
Integration With Encapsulation Systems
Dehumidifiers work best in encapsulated crawl spaces, helping maintain consistent humidity levels between 45–55%.

FAQs About Crawl Space Waterproofing
Why is there standing water in my crawl space?
Standing water is typically caused by hydrostatic pressure, where groundwater is forced through cracks in your foundation or up through the floor. It can also be the result of poor exterior drainage, such as clogged gutters or soil sloping toward your home.
Can I just use a dehumidifier to fix the wetness?
A dehumidifier is great for controlling humidity, but it cannot fix a flooding issue. If you have liquid water entering the space, you need a structural drainage system (like a French drain or sump pump) to remove the water before a dehumidifier can effectively dry out the air.
How long does the waterproofing process take?
Most crawl space projects are completed within 1 to 3 days, depending on the size of the area and the severity of the water intrusion. Our team works efficiently to minimize any disruption to your daily routine.
How much does crawl space waterproofing cost?
Costs vary based on the square footage, the type of drainage required, and the condition of the foundation. We provide free, no-obligation inspections to give you an accurate estimate tailored specifically to your home’s needs.
