Can it be used in a basement or crawlspace?

I've been using mine in a 2400 sf crawlspace in NC and been keeping the humidity at 62 pc. So far so good!My unit has the built-pump with the hose running outside thru the foundation wall.

I am currently using mine in a finished basement. The basement is fully paneled with a drop ceiling complete with indoor/outdoor carpeting.The unit is in the middle of the basement with the drain hose running to the laundry tub.

It can absolutely be used in a basement, that is where I use mine. I don't know however, about crawl-spaces.

Yes... That is what I am using it for currently basement. I went with this size because the smaller 30 pint was to much work for the unit. Plus I didn't want to empty the bucket a million times a day

I believe it could be used in both places as long as you hook the hose up to a drain so it drains automatically. It produces a good amount of warm dry air do it will heat up either space slightly which wouldn't matter.

Certainly in a basement, not certain about the crawl space but probably...we turned our unit to the higher speed and it is 90% humidity where we are in the am and 34% when we return in the late afternoon. We are temporarily in a tiny apt but will run it full time in our house later.

Might work if you can place it near an outer wall or near a window. A basement might not allow for very good reception.

It is an outside toy. It's a little large for inside. If you have the room in the basement or wherever, it would be fine.

The pump won't remove the moisture. You'd need a dehumidifier for that. But if you did put small dehumidifier in crawl space and drain it into the pump it could pump the water to a nearby drain.

I would not recommend it unless it was outside in a somewhat sheltered area. Even then I wouldn't do it. It is perfect for a garage or indoor.

Yes you can use this in a basement. Will stay still on concrete surface.. My daughters hit into ours in the garage.

Yes! I am using it indoors (carpeted basement) right now and all my cats and kittens love it. the house is perfectly safe for indoor use.

Hello Kyle,This cable should be okay for your crawlspace. A burial cable would be more durable is all. The only worry is, how cold does it get in your crawlspace?Sincerely, Taylor W.VIVO

Hey I just attached to my any door frame in ground floor. It does not have any issue. You can try it in your basement.

Yes. It could damage your flooring? I use mine in my puppy room which is in my finished basement. I put a large piece of lino under it to protect floor.

This unit was purchased for use in a basement so it would be difficult to compare to indoor use. Sorry

Yes... I bought it for my grandkids, and it's been set up in the garage several times during colder weather. Basement? Well - if the ceiling is high enough, it should work fine, too.

I'm wondering the same thing.Considering the purchase if I can run on it in the basement.

I wouldn't recommend it. The one we received was poorly made and broken on the legs. The only reason we keep it cuz it's in the basement and it's a hassle to send it back.

Can't really speak to that since mine is in a basement. However, i think you could spray a can of protecting paint to make sure.

It depends on how much moisture you have, but I am using it in a basement room about this size. It works well there.

I have never used this in a crawl space in the soil, I use mine on the floor joist at some times to check for water penetration and it worked fine there. I would be concerned that unless it was a solid mud base to stick the pins in it would not read correctly there.
