Grand Rapids sees more than 35 inches of rain and heavy lake-effect humidity every year. For many homeowners, that moisture settles in the crawl space, driving up energy bills, inviting mold spores, and warping hardwood floors. Installing a dedicated dehumidifier is the most reliable way to keep relative humidity below the recommended 60 % threshold. CountBricks delivers that solution end-to-end, from instant AI estimating to the final walkthrough.
• Sagging floor joists that demand costly structural repairs
• Musty odors that lower property value and trigger allergies
• Higher heating and cooling loads that strain HVAC equipment
• Increased risk of pests drawn to damp wood and insulation

CountBricks factors cubic footage, groundwater load, and seasonal dew point. For most Grand Rapids crawl spaces:
• 1,000-1,500 ft² requires 70-90 pints per day capacity
• 1,500-2,500 ft² requires 90-120 pints per day capacity
• Larger or high-water-table sites may need dual units networked to a single condensate pump
Because our AI ties equipment models to live distributor prices, you always see the most cost-effective option that still meets performance specs.
• Up to 15 % HVAC energy savings after moisture control
• Warmer floors in winter and fewer cold drafts
• Longer life span for insulation and ducts
• Healthier indoor air quality—fewer dust mites, mold spores, and allergens
A 1920s two-story bungalow in Heritage Hill suffered from cupping hardwoods and musty odors. Using CountBricks voice estimating, the homeowner approved a 75-pint sealed crawl space solution within 30 minutes. Installation took two days, and post-project humidity stabilized at 52 %. Heating bills dropped 12 % the first winter. View similar successes at CountBricks.com/portfolio.
• Always seal foundation vents before installing a dehumidifier to prevent outside air infiltration
• Test the sump pump float switch quarterly—standing water will overload any unit
• Replace the dehumidifier filter every six months for maximum efficiency
