Humidity, mold, and musty odors are prevalent basement issues that jeopardize your home and well-being. They should not be considered “normal” basement attributes, but serious issues that must be remedied to protect what matters most.

Baker’s Waterproofing stands as the leading expert in basement waterproofing and humidity control. We deliver comprehensive basement solutions to guarantee a healthy home environment, including our proprietary basement dehumidifier, the AquaStop™ Air System.

This page walks you through our exclusive basement waterproofing solutions, showcasing how they improve your well-being and enhance the overall quality of your life.

What Is A Basement Dehumidifier?

A basement dehumidifier works by drawing in moist air, removing excess moisture, and releasing drier air back into the basement. It typically operates using a refrigeration system or desiccant technology. After a fan pulls humid air into the unit, the air passes over cold coils, causing moisture to condense into water droplets. The condensed water is collected in a tank or drained through a hose, then the dehumidified air is reheated and expelled back into the basement, reducing overall humidity levels.

A dehumidifier for basement areas is a vital element of a comprehensive basement waterproofing and humidity control solution. The AquaStop™ Air System, exclusive to Baker’s Waterproofing, is compatible with our other moisture management solutions, including interior drains, sump pumps, and vapor barriers. This holistic approach guarantees a dry, healthy environment in your basement and throughout your entire home.

Addressing early signs of humidity issues with professional assistance is crucial to avoid severe problems. If you notice any of these signs in your basement, don’t hesitate to contact Baker’s Waterproofing. Taking swift action can save you time, money, and unnecessary stress.

Yes, a basement dehumidifier is not a mere luxury, but a vital necessity. Lingering basement humidity leads to mold growth, structural damage, escalating repair costs, and an unhealthy living environment.

Standard dehumidifiers often fall short in large basements and substantial moisture levels. They also require frequent emptying, which is inconvenient and messy.

Our AquaStop™ Basement Air System is a robust and efficient dehumidifier designed to actively extract moisture from the air and regulate the basement environment. It plays an indispensable role in our whole-home solution, ensuring you avoid the challenges associated with basement humidity.
