A unit needs a sealed enclosure to work against. On open piers that means building one first.
Many Orchard Hill homes sit on open brick piers with no perimeter wall, and that changes the conversation. A dehumidifier in a crawl space open to the yard is trying to dry the outdoors, which it will never manage.
So the enclosure comes first. We build and seal a perimeter, cover the ground, and only then does a unit make sense. At that point it works properly, holding the space in the fifties through the humid months.
Clay over rock under these properties keeps the ground damp, so the residual load after sealing is real and the unit has a genuine job. We size from measurements, place it for circulation, and drain the condensate by gravity, which acreage with fall makes easy.
The scope is fixed before we start on an Orchard Hill home, so nothing gets added once the crew is underneath.
