Ideal Crawl Spaces

North Carolina summers are humid, and that moist air ends up under your home. A crawl space dehumidifier keeps humidity in check so moisture doesn’t build up.

Ideal Crawl Spaces installs Aprilaire and Santa Fe crawl space dehumidifiers for homes in Burlington and across Alamance County.

Crawl Space Dehumidifiers in Burlington, NC

Crawl Space Encapsulation & Repair

A crawl space dehumidifier pulls moisture out of the air under your home and drains it away. It’s a key part of most sealed or encapsulated crawl spaces, and it can also help crawl spaces that stay damp even with a vapor barrier.

We size the unit to your crawl space, install it so it drains properly, and set it up so you can see it working. Keeping humidity under control can help reduce musty odors and discourage mold and wood rot.

What’s Included

Dehumidifier FAQs

Crawl Space Encapsulation & Repair

We install Aprilaire and Santa Fe crawl space dehumidifiers, sized for your space.

Household units aren’t built for the conditions in a crawl space and usually need their buckets emptied. Crawl space dehumidifiers are designed to run in that space and drain automatically.

Most sealed or encapsulated crawl spaces need one. Vented crawl spaces may need other fixes first. Your free inspection will tell us what makes sense.

We run a drain line to a suitable location, or install a condensate pump if needed, so water leaves the crawl space.

It depends on the size and condition of your crawl space. After your free inspection, you’ll get a written quote. Financing is available through Synchrony, subject to credit approval.

Yes, a little. Filters need periodic cleaning or replacement, and it’s worth checking the unit regularly. We’ll show you what to check.

We provide a 25-Year Limited Workmanship Warranty on qualifying installation work. The dehumidifier itself is covered separately by the manufacturer’s warranty.

We’re based in Burlington and serve homeowners within about 30 miles, including Graham, Mebane, Elon, Gibsonville, Haw River, Greensboro, Hillsborough and surrounding communities.
