Sealing gets the water out. A dehumidifier is what keeps the number where it needs to stay all summer.
Sealing a crawl space removes the sources of moisture. A dehumidifier controls what is left, and in Macon there is always something left. Summer air here carries a heavy moisture load, the ground below holds water, and even a well sealed space drifts upward without something actively pulling humidity out.
The target is a stable relative humidity in the fifties. Below sixty, mold cannot establish, wood stays dimensionally stable, and the air moving up into your living space stops carrying that damp smell. Above seventy, everything starts working against you again.
We size the unit to the footprint and the conditions we measure, install it on a stand or hung from the framing, and plumb the condensate line to a gravity drain or the sump so nobody empties anything. Then we set it and record the humidity before and after, so you have a number to look at.
Here is what our crawl space dehumidifier work includes on a Macon home, in town or out toward the Bibb County line.

Trench Guys came to my home and corrected a sagging kitchen floor. They did a great job and guarantee their work for 10 years! I absolutely will be calling them anytime I need help.
I don't usually write reviews but John and his crew are absolutely awesome. They did my crawl space encapsulation. I got other quotes - don't waste your time with the other guys. Outstanding service at an incredible price!
