Humid Basement in South Dakota, Wyoming, and Nebraska

Why is your South Dakota Basement so Humid?

A humid basement can be a nuisance. When you’re coming inside to escape the heat, you don’t expect to walk into a more humid room than the outdoors. Though you may think the humidity is a problem with your air conditioner or the weather, this humidity may come from your basement and crawlspace. This can cause numerous issues for homes in South Dakota.

But what causes the humidity? More often than not, it’s a sign of water management issues throughout your basement or crawlspace. When water cannot properly drain, it sits in your home, adding to the moisture in the air. This sitting water may be in your basement or your crawlspace. A humid basement is just one of the effects this excess water can have. Potentially, it could soften floorboards and allow hazardous mold growth as well.
