Basement Dehumidifiers

Even a properly waterproofed basement can still feel damp due to moisture vapor released through concrete walls and floors. DBS Repair offers professional-grade Basement Dehumidifiers designed specifically for below-grade environments. Unlike standard appliance-store units, SaniDry basement dehumidifiers provide powerful moisture control, automatic drainage, energy efficiency, and reliable performance to help create a healthier, drier basement year-round.

OUR Basement Dehumidifiers ARE NOT a Store-Bought Dehumidifier

Concrete walls and floors naturally absorb moisture from the soil and release it as vapor into the basement air year-round. Even after a full waterproofing system is installed, this vapor transmission continues and can keep humidity levels elevated enough to support mold growth and musty odors.

Standard appliance store dehumidifiers are designed for finished indoor spaces, not the cold, damp, low-temperature environment of a below-grade basement. They quickly lose efficiency at lower temperatures, fill with water that must be manually emptied, and lack the airflow power to effectively dry a large basement space. SaniDry systems are engineered specifically for basement and crawl space conditions.

A Basement Dehumidifier Is Not a Store-Bought Dehumidifier

For most basements and crawl spaces
SaniDry™ Sedona Dehumidifier

Giant performance in a compact package. The Sedona is designed for tight crawl space and low-ceiling basement installations without sacrificing output. A powerful blower circulates dry air throughout the space, and the humidity sensor maintains relative humidity below 55% automatically. Once installed, no ongoing attention is required, it drains automatically and shuts off when the target humidity is reached.

Moisture removal 100 pints per day
Profile Compact horizontal, fits tight spaces
Drainage Self-draining to sump or perimeter drain
Control Humidity sensor, automatic operation
For large basements and whole-home control
SaniDry™ XP Upright Dehumidifier

The highest-capacity SaniDry unit for large basement spaces and whole-home humidity control. The XP’s upright form factor allows ductwork connections to distribute dry air throughout multiple rooms and floors. Removes moisture at a rate that outperforms any standard appliance store unit.

Profile Upright, ductwork compatible
Coverage Large basements and multi-room distribution
Drainage Self-draining to sump or perimeter drain
Control Humidity sensor, automatic operation

What Every SaniDry™ System Includes

Basement Dehumidifier: The key-to long term Moisture Control

Basement Dehumidifiers are an effective solution for reducing excess moisture, improving indoor air quality, and creating a healthier living environment. By maintaining proper humidity levels, basement dehumidifiers help prevent mold growth, musty odors, wood rot, and other moisture-related issues that can damage your home over time. Whether your basement feels damp year-round or experiences seasonal humidity spikes, a professionally installed dehumidifier can provide long-term moisture control and greater comfort for your family.

Self-Draining Operation

Collected water drains automatically into the sump pump pit, perimeter drain, or via a condensate pump, eliminating the need to manually empty a reservoir.

Humidity Sensor Control

An integrated humidity sensor monitors the air and runs the unit only when humidity rises above the set point, reducing energy use compared to units that run continuously.

High-Volume Blower

A powerful blower motor circulates dry air aggressively throughout the basement space, reaching all areas rather than only drying the air immediately surrounding the unit.

Below-55% Humidity Target

SaniDry systems maintain relative humidity below 55%, the threshold below which mold spores cannot germinate. Appliance store models often struggle to reach this level in basement conditions.

Air Filtration

SaniDry systems include an air filter that removes particles as small as 2 microns from the air, capturing mold spores, dust, and allergens as air circulates through the unit.

Written Warranty

Every SaniDry installation includes a comprehensive written warranty, not available with appliance store units, backed by DBS Repair’s ongoing service and maintenance support.

Despite not having the funds on have to get the work done right away, Myke was honest, upfront, and knowledgeable about the solutions needed to address my weeping basement walls. He provided a thorough and truthful assessment of my basement’s condition without applying any sales pressure. Instead, he focused on explaining practical options to solve the problem and help mitigate the current issues. This alone earned my trust and desire to work with DBS.

The job was done quickly but well. The installers were courteous and went to great lengths in explaining the work that was done and how to monitor it in the future. I would highly recommend DBS for any basement work.

I had Luke take care of my Basement SaniDry dehumidifier which I originally had installed in 2018. It really works wonderfully but showed needing refrigerant about every 10 months. This means sending it in and after the 5 year warranty the hassle and cost seemed unreasonable. DBS did well by me and I feel confident recommending this service.. Luke is very knowledgeable and able to provide the information I needed in lay person terms which I really appreciated.

Thank you DBS, Jake was very professional and explained everything that they would do to stop water coming into the main building at Northwood Children Services . Jake explained that all work done was a lifetime warranty. I was expecting a very high quote but the quote was very reasonable . A decision was made right away to schedule DBS to do the work. I would highly recommend DBS for any repairs you may need done to stop water leaks in basements or a commercial buildings. Michael Smith Northwood Children Services!

DBS provided a complete solution to our wet basement problem and continue to respond to our maintenance requirements. A recent visit to replace the main sump pump was completed quickly and the technician answered all our questions and explained the operation of the entire system in detail. We have complete confidence in the installation and maintenance process. We now can relax knowing our home is safe.

Had DBS come out and give me a quote on repairing a basement wall made of concrete blocks. The wall had big stair stepping cracks, horizontal cracks, and the wall was bowing in. I had multiple company’s out for quotes. The Guy from DBS, Henrik was the first quote I received. He didn’t try to scare me or push me into a sale. He told me what was wrong and what I needed to do to repair it. I didn’t have the same experience with other contractors, I was quoted thousands of dollars of repairs that weren’t necessary and was quoted obnoxious amounts of money to fix it. DBS was always upfront annd honest. Obviously I went with DBS. They installed brackets to secure the wall and straighten it. They were great to work with, their goal was my goal, ensuring the integrity of the wall. The whole process was very easy from my side. I can’t believe the amount of work Shane, the installer was able to get done in one day. Great, honest company. I’d recommend them to anyone.

Travis was very friendly and professional. Even tho I was not watching him perform his duties, he fully explained what he did and assured me my system was up to spec. He cleaned up behind him, and left my basement as clean as when he came. A good guy!
