Why Do You Need A Dehumidifier In The Crawl Space?
Moisture and relative humidity are the main reasons your crawl space needs a dehumidifier. Mold can grow in any crawl space with humidity over 70%. Without a dehumidifier, your crawl space will reach and exceed this level 6-8 months of the year. A properly sized and installed dehumidifier will control crawl space humidity, preventing the conditions that invite mold growth, wood rot, and pests.
Instant Benefits From Installing The Right Crawl Space Dehumidifier:
Mold Prevention
Proper installation of a commercial-grade crawl space dehumidifier helps reduce humidity and wood moisture levels, preventing the conditions that foster mold growth and improving the indoor air quality of your home.
Improves Indoor Air Quality
By removing excess moisture and reducing humidity, installing a crawl space dehumidifier helps improve the overall air quality in your home, making it easier to breathe and reducing allergens.
Protects Structural Integrity
High humidity in your crawl space can lead to wood rot, decay, and structural damage over time. Installing a properly sized crawl space dehumidifier will help protect the wood structure of your home by controlling and stabilizing moisture levels.
Increased Energy Efficiency
Excess humidity can make your HVAC system work harder, increasing energy bills. Installing a dehumidifier can reduce this workload by making it easier for your system to cool and dehumidify your home, lowering energy costs.

dana sherrard2024-04-02I cannot say enough good things about your company. AJ and Ken were here all day and did a thorough and professional job. They were thoughtful and courteous and went out of their way to explain to us what they were doing, even taking pictures and made sure everything was left neat and clean when they left. Thanks so much!
WB MD2024-04-02Ken and AJ communicated well, showed up early, and worked hard to make sure our ducts and registers were clean. We are very appreciative.
Bonnie Laylon2024-03-25Unknown to me I had very dangerous toxic mold in my crawl space. After researching several different companies, I decided on The Clean Air Co. They were very professional and explained encapsulation was the solution. There was nothing hidden in their quote and no add ons like removal of previous insulation and spraying to remove mold. Upon completion Kenneth and Ken throughly cleaned and sanitized my ducts. I felt owner Tim Finlan went over and above to make sure I was pleased with their work. I highly recommend this company.
Joanna Fowler2024-03-16We were so pleased with the work done by Clean Air Co! From the initial inspection, through the estimate and quote process, all the way to final clean up, the team was excellent. Great communication, and they exceeded our expectations. We received 3 quotes to encapsulate our crawl space, and we are so glad we chose Clean Air Co. Highly recommend them for their services and integrity.
Sharon Marti2024-03-11We had a great experience with the Clean Air Company and appreciate their great communication along the way. The crawl space had multiple problems and they addressed each one. Thank you Nathan and team for doing such a great job.
Susan Saums2024-03-08The team was professional and efficient, work began and ended on schedule. This long overdue work was painless for the homeowner.
Elizabeth Husband2024-03-02Clean Air company earned their 5 stars on our job. We had an internal french drain issue that was causing foundation issues. They figured out and completely fixed all our drainage problems. Other companies like TFS were scratching their heads, uncertain about what to do, and quoting work that turned out to be unnecessary. I want to thank everyone on the team. Tim, Nate and Justin you guys are the best! We will be a customer for life.
Wanda Davis2024-02-22KB and AJ did a fantastic job and both were very nice to talk with.
Jim M2024-02-19Wonderful business!! After requesting 5 separate bids due to the size and scope of our needs, we went with the Clean Air Company to address our very musty crawlspace with hydrostatic water pressure issues. Tim and his team were so professional during the bidding process and treated it like a true project with planning and communication from the onset. They transformed the worst imaginable crawl space into a clean, dry, temp/humidity controlled space. We could not be happier and extend a referral to anyone who asks!
