Dehumidification
North Carolina's humidity doesn't stop at your door. Up to half of the air circulating through your home comes from below — rising up from your crawl space through your floors and into your living areas. If that space is uncontrolled, so is the air quality in your home.
A professionally installed crawl space dehumidifier is often the most important first step in resolving moisture problems beneath your home. At Neuse Termite and Pest Control, we assess your specific crawl space conditions and install the right solution for your situation — not a one-size-fits-all fix.

Why a Dehumidifier Is Often the First Step
Encapsulation and vapor barriers address ground moisture and outside air exchange. But if the wood moisture content in your floor system and ductwork is already elevated, those measures alone may not bring humidity down to a safe level. That is where a dehumidifier does work that nothing else can.
A crawl space dehumidifier actively pulls excess moisture from the air on an ongoing basis, maintaining relative humidity at a level that protects your home's structure and the air your family breathes. The EPA recommends indoor relative humidity between 30 and 50 percent. Uncontrolled crawl spaces routinely push that figure to 60 percent or higher.
The consequences of sustained high humidity in a crawl space include:
- Wood rot and structural degradation in floor joists and subflooring
- Mold, mildew, and fungal growth on wood surfaces and insulation
- Increased allergens and musty odors throughout the living space
- Elevated risk of termite infestation, since subterranean termites are drawn to moisture-compromised wood
- Higher energy costs as the HVAC system works harder against elevated indoor humidity
