A shallow water table keeps the load high all year. A sized unit is what holds the line.
The water table under south Houston County sits close to the surface, so the ground in an Elko crawl space is releasing moisture for most of the year. Sealing it stops the bulk of that transfer and the residual load in this area is still higher than average.
That is what a dehumidifier is sized for. It runs through the humid months, holds the space in the fifties, and cycles down when the season eases. Without one, a sealed space in this part of the county tends to drift upward in July and August.
On older Elko homes we check the electrical supply during the inspection, because many of these houses have limited capacity in the crawl space area. Any circuit work needed goes into the written price so nothing is a surprise on install day.
Elko homeowners get the same scope every time, priced in writing before a crew books the date.
