Older homes over damp sandy clay drift high all summer. A sized unit holds the number down.
The sandy clay under Perry holds water for long stretches, so even after a crawl space is sealed there is a persistent load working against it. On the older homes around the square, where the space is larger and the brick piers pass moisture, that load is higher than in a newer house.
A dehumidifier is what turns a mostly dry crawl space into a reliably dry one. It runs continuously in the humid months, pulls the relative humidity into the fifties, and cycles down when the season eases.
Sizing matters more than brand. We measure the footprint, the current humidity, and the conditions the space is actually in, then select a unit that holds the target without running flat out. The condensate is plumbed to a gravity drain or the sump so it needs no attention.
Perry homeowners get the same scope every time, priced in writing before a crew books the date.

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!
