High-Performance Dehumidification & Air Filtration for Your Crawl Space
At Cantey Foundation Specialists, we specialize in preventing mold growth, wood rot, and foul odors with our patented crawl space dehumidifier. As part of our complete crawl space encapsulation system, a dehumidifier will ensure that your home has clean, dry air, and your crawl space is protected from mold.
How Humidity Affects Your Crawl Space
Homes have never been completely airtight structures, and over the years outside air is given more and more access through both the changes you’ve decided to make to it and the natural decay of building products. This allows humid air to get into your crawl space, where it inevitably condenses and begins to cause problems.
Warm air rises and exits through upper windows and the roof, creating a vacuum in your home. In below grade spaces, this void is filled with humid air drawn from the outside. Once in your crawl space, this air condenses and leaves standing water before it works its way up and out of the home. Known as the stack effect, this process will worsen over time and create mold and wood rot while hurting your energy efficiency.
Benefits of a Energy Efficient Dehumidifier
Prevents Mold and Wood Rot
Prevents Mold and Wood Rot
Mold and mildew need moisture to grow, and they commonly attack damp crawl spaces. Our SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier keeps the relative humidity below 55%, creating an environment where mold does not stand a chance. This protects your home’s structure from wood rot and stops foul odors from developing. By controlling the moisture, you avoid damage to your home’s health and value.
Lowers Energy Costs

Many homeowners worry about the electricity bill when running a dehumidifier, but the Sedona is designed for high efficiency. It removes 100 pints of moisture per day while using less electricity than conventional models. This machine is the world’s most efficient high-performance dehumidifier and does not rely on a bulky heat exchange core. You get powerful drying performance without the penalty of high utility costs.
Improves Whole-Home Air Quality
Improves Whole-Home Air Quality
Air from your crawl space naturally moves up into your living areas through a process called the stack effect. If that air is damp and dirty, it impacts the air you breathe in the rest of your home. Installing a high-performance dehumidifier ensures your home has clean, dry air circulating throughout. This creates a healthier environment for your family by stopping the upward pull of humid, moldy air.
Automatic and Maintenance-Free

The SaniDry™ Sedona is built to be a set-it-and-forget-it solution for your home. It features a humidity sensor that constantly monitors the air to keep moisture levels in check automatically. The unit also drains the water it collects automatically, so you never have to go downstairs to empty a bucket. Once our team installs it, there is nothing else for you to do but enjoy a drier home.

Crawl spaces can be tight and hard to reach, but the Sedona offers giant performance in a small package. It easily fits into small crawl spaces while using a powerful blower to effectively dry out even large areas. We install the unit efficiently so it does not take up unnecessary room under your home. This ensures you get complete coverage without struggling with bulky equipment that is hard to manage.
Eliminates Foul Odors
Eliminates Foul Odors
Excess moisture leads to foul odors that cause issues for your home’s air quality. These smells travel upward due to the stack effect, pulling damp air from the crawl space into your living areas. Our dehumidifier ensures that your home has clean, dry air circulating throughout the house. By removing the excess humidity, we eliminate the environment where these odors thrive. This keeps your home smelling fresh and protects your family’s comfort.
Protects Property Value
Protects Property Value
Uncontrolled humidity leads to wood rot and mold growth that can severely impact your home’s value. Moisture damage attacks the wooden structures supporting your house, creating safety issues and costly repairs. Installing a dehumidifier protects your crawl space from this damage by keeping relative humidity below 55%. This simple addition acts as a safeguard for your property and ensures the space remains dry and healthy. It is a vital step in preserving the long-term health of your home.

Crawl Space Dehumidifier Process
Seal the Crawl Space
Before addressing the air quality, we seal your crawl space off from the outside environment. This prevents humid air from being drawn in through vents or cracks due to the stack effect. Creating this sealed boundary is essential to maintaining a space that stays dry, clean, and energy efficient.
Position the Compact Unit
We place the SaniDry™ Sedona in your crawl space, utilizing its compact design to fit into small areas easily. Despite its small size, the unit is equipped with a powerful blower that effectively dries out even large crawl spaces. We ensure it is positioned for maximum airflow without obstructing access to other parts of your home.
Connect Automatic Drainage
Our installation includes setting up the unit to drain collected water automatically. This eliminates the need for you to ever go downstairs to empty a heavy water bucket. The moisture is removed from the air and directed away from your home, ensuring the system runs continuously without maintenance.
Activate Humidity Monitoring
The dehumidifier features a built-in sensor that constantly monitors the air quality in your crawl space. It automatically works to keep the relative humidity below 55%, ensuring that mold and mildew do not have a chance to grow. This smart technology adjusts to the conditions so you do not have to manage settings manually.
Enjoy Maintenance-Free Protection
Once the system is installed and running, there is nothing else for you to do. The unit delivers high-performance results while using less electricity than conventional models. Your crawl space will remain drier and healthier, which helps improve the air quality in the rest of your home.
