How to choose your basement dehumidifier?
Several criteria are essential to make the right choice:
- Extraction capacity: minimum 20L/day for a basement
- Temperature range: some models work down to 5°C
- Noise level: important if the basement is close to living areas
- Water tank: prioritize a model with continuous drainage
Why is a basement damp?
Basements are naturally damp for several reasons: their underground position exposes them to rising damp, their poor ventilation limits humidity removal, and temperature variations create condensation.
