What Months Should You Run a Dehumidifier in the Basement?

Every rainy season, some areas will be troubled by water and moisture. Especially in addition to the rainstorm, various problems such as ponding have been shown. The accumulated water in the room and on the road has caused great difficulties to everyone’s life.

Damage to vehicles in humid environment

In addition to the problem of road ponding, the problem of damp return and ponding in basements and garages has also attracted much attention. During the plum rain season, the underground garage is getting damp, there is serious water accumulation, and the wall is moldy. The damp underground garage will not only affect the driving and walking safety of the owner, but also cause the engine, chassis, lines, etc. to be affected with damp and rust. If the vehicle is parked in a humid environment for a long time, it will accelerate oxidation and cause failure.

Hidden danger of damp vehicles

When driving in a wet underground garage, especially on a painted floor, even at a very slow speed, vehicles are prone to slip, sideslip, brake failure and other phenomena when turning, thus leading to safety accidents. If the vehicle is parked in a wet underground garage for a long time, its tires and braking system may rust, which may lead to brake failure, insufficient tire pressure, and loss of control of direction. Humidity may lead to rust and looseness of vehicle lines and battery connectors, which may lead to the failure of headlights or failure to start the vehicle. Dampness causes mildew in the interior of the vehicle and the interior of the air conditioner, which not only damages the vehicle, but also endangers the health of the owner. The main reason for these conditions is that waterproofing is not the same as moisture-proof.

Why is the basement still damp after waterproofing?

Waterproofing refers to preventing water from seeping into the indoor floor or wall. Waterproofing refers to preventing liquid water. The solution is to select good waterproof materials and do a good job in construction. Moisture proof refers to preventing objects and spaces from being affected by humidity. Moisture proof refers to the prevention of air humidity and underground moisture. Dehumidification mainly refers to the removal of excess moisture in the air.

Waterproof and moisture proof are two different concepts, so we cannot use waterproof methods to deal with moisture proof problems. The basement space has heavy moisture, so it is not enough to do waterproof without moisture-proof. Under the effect of underground moisture pressure, the waterproof coating layer may blister and fall off, so the waterproof and moisture-proof of the basement should not be ignored.

Why is the basement damp?

The humidity in the basement mainly comes from three aspects: high humidity, large temperature difference and close to the humidity source. The humidity is sinking, and the lower the position is, the wetter it is. The basement is located at the bottom of the floor, and the humidity is concentrated. The temperature of the basement is lower than that of the ground. When the high temperature and humidity air on the ground enters the basement, the temperature drops rapidly and tends to dewfall, increasing the humidity of the basement. The basement is close to the soil and underground water source, and the evaporation of moisture in the soil and water source also causes indoor humidity. Therefore, it is extremely important to do a good job in the moisture-proof and dehumidification of the basement.

Dehumidifier helps you solve the humidity problem

At present, under the condition that the basement structure cannot be changed, the fast and efficient solution to the basement humidity problem is to install a dehumidifier. The objective of establishing a dehumidifier is to eliminate condensation and ponding on the ground, wall, and air duct, so as to improve the overall standard of the garage.
