Nor’easter did in our basement
Posted in Ramblings on Apr 27th, 2007
Yeah, it’s damp…
Actually.. it’s really damp. We have always had a damp basement but the big ol storm we had last really made it icky.
I’ve been thinking about getting a basement dehumidifier. I’ve had friends tell me that they really work well! I don’t really understand how it works, but I found this really cool site that explains how dehumidifiers work their magic. Evidently, it’s all about condensation. Makes sense.
I’ve put off buying one because I didn’t really know what size to get or what kind to get or even what to look for. Fortunately, DehumidifierTips.com has an entire page dedicated to what features to look for in a dehumidifier.
It’s so funny to me. In the winter we have to “humidify” our house, but in the spring.. oy! I wonder if I can get a little one for the attic? We don’t have attic vents, but I do have windows that I open. I forgot to get to them this year until just the other day.. OMG, there were drops of water on everything!
Yeah, I think I’ll pick up a dehumidifier or two.
On this day..

When we lived in a different climate we were able to turn a swampy basement into a living area with two heavy duty dehumidifiers. I don’t know how they work but I could say the same for TV, computers, cars, etc. One bonus was we got great water for houseplants.
Hmmm… that is a great idea… our attic really concerns me more than anything.. I don’t like to feel soft cardboard! Makes me wonder what is growing on my stuff!
