I have a summer home on a lake in upstate NY where dampness in the "basement/crawlspace" has caused cupping in a new hardwood floor. The space is about 1000 sq ft with a concrete floor and block walls, about 4' of headroom. There is seepage in one corner caused by runoff from the granite facewall behine the house. There is a french drain, but I don't think I can divert all the moisture. I also have condensation and some seepage where the well pipe comes into the basement. There is no sump.
Your most recent post identified a new model, the Advantage, that sounds like what I need. Agree? Also without a sump, I will have to pump out the condensate. Any recommendations on particular pumps, systems or setups?
Thanks,
David

| The Advantage will handle up to 2,500 sqft. maintaining 50%RH. We have a pump kit. Stop as much water as possible. Hope your moisture problem is a result of condensation instead of runoff. Liquid water intrusion may make control of wood floor cupping impossible. Thnaks for the post. Ken
