FAQ about damp in the basement

What should the humidity level be in a basement?

Generally, a relative humidity of between 50–60% is recommended to reduce the risk of mould, odours and damp damage.

Can a dehumidifier be left running all the time?

Yes. Many dehumidifiers are designed for continuous operation and start automatically when the humidity becomes too high.

Which dehumidifier is best suited for basement?

Wood’s SW series is designed to remove damp from basement. They are available in various capacities; the higher the capacity, the quicker you’ll get rid of damp problems.

Does a dehumidifier help with musty odours?

Yes. Musty odours are often caused by high humidity. As the humidity decreases, the odour usually improves as well.

Why does the basement smell musty?

Musty odours are often caused by high humidity and mould spores. Lowering the humidity with a dehumidifier can reduce or eliminate the problem.

Why do the walls in the basement get damp?

Damp walls are often caused by ground moisture or condensation. When the humidity is high, moisture collects on cold surfaces. A dehumidifier can help reduce the humidity.

Why does black mould grow in basements?

Basements are particularly vulnerable because they are below ground level and often have higher humidity. When the air is humid for long periods of time, mould can start to grow on walls, wood and other materials. A dehumidifier can help keep the humidity at a level where mould cannot thrive.
