SaniDry™ really dries out your crawl space.
SaniDry™CSB's low profile, air filtration, and heavy-duty drying make
this the perfect crawl space dehumidifier.
Once a sump system and a CleanSpace® liner are installed, and the
vents are closed, the "cherry on top" is a dehumidification system. The
SaniDry™ Basement Air System comes in a lower height unit for crawl
spaces called SaniDry™ CSB .
Remember it’s not just the crawl space (or basement) you are dehumidifying.
Because air rises from the bottom to top of your home, the air that now rises
will dry your house instead of wetting it.
Another way to dry the air in your crawl space is to "condition" it. This
means you use the Heating and Air Conditioning System to heat, cool, and dry the
crawl space. Because your crawl space is low it doesn’t really tax your system
very much at all. In fact, because warm air rises to heat the floors above, it
costs almost nothing as long as you have a complete CleanSpace® system
installed and seal the vents and other air openings to the outside.
One way to condition a crawl space is to constantly blow a small amount of
air from upstairs into the crawl space. You can do this with a "
Crawl-O-Sphere air machine." Depending on the size of your crawl space, this
system draws from between 15 and 80 cubic feet of air per minute from the
upstairs and blows it into your crawl space. The air from upstairs is dry in the
summer (if you have central air conditioning) and warm and dry in the winter,
and for little cost, will dry your crawl space pretty well. It is not as
effective as a SaniDry™ , but the Crawl-O-Sphere machine is a
lower-cost alternative.
