10 Best Dehumidifiers for Crawl Spaces
for March 2023

Crawl space humidity levels are often overlooked by homeowners, but they can be an important factor when it comes to maintaining your home's structural integrity. Too much moisture can cause wood to swell, causing wood beams to sag, leading to cracked walls, and, in severe cases, even collapse.

Crawl space humidity levels can vary throughout the year, and, depending on the climate, the humidity levels may be higher or lower than in your home. Crawl space humidity levels can also change with seasons, as cool air moves in and warm air escapes. And, as temperatures drop in the fall and winter months, the humidity levels in your crawl space may drop, too.

Crawl space humidity levels fluctuate, too, depending on factors such as the amount of moisture in the air, your home's ventilation, and the type of insulation in your crawl space. The Different Guide has tested dozens of dehumidifiers over the years, evaluating them for performance, ease of use, and energy efficiency. Here are the best dehumidifiers for crawl spaces you can buy in 2022, according to testing and reviews.
