Usually it is always a precautionary measure to install one basement dehumidifier. This is mainly because sunlight does not reach here, nor does fresh air. Also, humid air is heavy and tends to settle in the basement.

If you can sense the musty smell, damp air with a stale feel these are the first signs. If you see fungus on any fabric or soft clothes, then you are already on secondary stage. In such case, your basement needs a Dehumidifier right away. Further delay can make irreparable damage to your wall and stored goods.

So, even before the first possible sign of damage, you should be ready with a basement dehumidifier.

An efficient basement dehumidifier comes with an in-built pump or external pump. This pump is used to pump water to the ground level above head. It should automatically drain this water when the container is filled up. You can use this water for your garden.

If you have a large basement, your dehumidifier has to be of high capacity. Always customers tend to go for economic models of lower capacity. This is not advisable since there is a dehumidification capacity for each model.

Also, basement dehumidifier should have a hygrostat (also known as humidistat). This is to automatically switch ON & OFF the dehumidifier based on the present humidity levels. Also, if you have to pump the collected water to a higher level, optional water pump can be fitted in the dehumidifier. Thus, water will be pumped to a higher level or to a sump pit.
