Dehumidifiers

[ponokareefer]

We use a Danby that we bought at Home Depot a couple of years ago. You can plumb it right into a drain if you like, but we just dump the container when it fills with water. Really simple and easy unit to use, just plug in and go.
I'd definitely look at getting something soon. When we had excess humidity in our house, it lead to mold growing under the carpets, and then it crept up into the drywall in a few spots. Ripping out drywall all around the basement in your house is not fun!
HRV's are definitely the best way to go from all the research I did, but are quite expensive compared to a dehumidifier.
