Basement Dehumidifier Installation in [Target Location]

Your basement doesn't have to feel damp and musty. Legacy Supportworks installs basement dehumidifiers engineered for long-term moisture control.

Why Your Basement Still Feels Damp–Even After Waterproofing

Even a basement without visible water can still have more moisture in the air than it should. Concrete walls and floors are porous, which lets moisture from the surrounding soil pass slowly through as water vapor. That's why a basement can feel damp and smell musty even when the drainage system and sump pump are doing exactly what they should.

Basement waterproofing and dehumidification solve two different problems. Waterproofing collects and discharges liquid water, while a dehumidifier handles moisture in the air. Keeping indoor humidity below 60% (ideally between 30% and 50%) helps make for a drier, more comfortable basement.

Signs Your Basement Needs a Dehumidifier

Basements than the rest of the home. But when that humidity , you may that there's .

Common signs include:

  • Condensation on walls, windows or pipes
  • Humidity readings above 60%
  • Rust on tools, appliances or HVAC equipment

Our Basement Dehumidifier Solution

  • For damp, musty or humid basements

    Whole-Home Humidity Control

    Unlike a portable dehumidifier, our system is engineered specifically for long-term basement humidity control. It pulls damp air into the system, removes excess moisture, filters the air and sends drier air back through the basement.

    The system is professionally sized for your space and drains automatically into your waterproofing system or another designated drain. There’s no bucket to empty and no wondering when to turn it on. A built-in humidistat tracks moisture levels and cycles the system automatically as needed.

    • Built to operate efficiently in cool basement conditions
    • Automatically maintains your desired humidity level
    • Continuous drainage with no bucket to empty
    • Filters airborne particles as basement air moves through it
    • Compact design that doesn’t take up unnecessary space
    • Professionally sized and installed by Legacy Supportworks
    • Backed by warranty protection and available annual maintenance

Why A Store-Bought Dehumidifier May Not Be Enough

Portable dehumidifiers , but controlling humidity across an entire basement is . .

Not Built for Cooler Basements

Basements tend to remain cooler than the rest of your home, and some portable dehumidifiers don’t perform as well at lower temperatures. When coils get too cold, frost can form and reduce the unit’s ability to remove moisture efficiently.

Too Small for the Space

A small portable unit may do fine in one room but struggle to manage humidity throughout an entire basement. A permanent basement dehumidifier is sized based on the space and moisture conditions so it can manage humidity consistently.

A Bucket You Have to Empty

Once a portable dehumidifier’s bucket fills, the unit stops collecting water until someone empties it. Professionally installed systems drain continuously into a sump pit, drainage system or condensate pump, so moisture removal doesn’t hinge on you remembering to empty a bucket.

Limited Air Filtration

A basement dehumidifier does more than just remove moisture. As it draws in damp air, the system also filters airborne particles before sending drier, filtered air back into the basement. Most portable units provide much more basic filtration.

Installed for Long-Term Moisture Control

A permanent basement dehumidifier isn’t simply another appliance you bring home and plug in. Legacy Supportworks specs and installs the system for your basement, configures automatic drainage and makes sure it’s working properly. It’s also backed by warranty protection and a team you can reach when you need service.

Customer Information

Don't just take our word for it

See what our customers have to say about our work.

Legacy SupportWorks was referred to me by Bernie Sanders with Sir Speedy. When doors began to not close properly and there were noticeable gaps between the floor and molding, we knew it was time to get some foundation work done on our home. We shopped around and were pleased with the value and responsiveness of Legacy Support Works. I felt comfortable with them in my home, they delivered what they promised when they promised and left my home clean. From Tessa who made the initial contact, to the gentleman putting my carpet back in place, customer service was outstanding.

Mike P. from Amarillo, TX hired Legacy Supportworks to help lift and level a sinking kitchen floor with PolyLevel™.In this video he talks about the experience with the company. “We were really impressed that he (the owner) was willing to get in there and work just like a laborer!”

Mike P. | Amarillo, TX

When Karen H. saw some cracks on her wall, she knew something was wrong. She first called a local contractor and they told her that the cracks were being caused by the trees in her backyard. Karen wasn’t convinced by their explanation so she decided to get a second opinion and called Legacy Supportworks. In this video she talks about the experience she had with the company and why she was confident to hire them as the right company for the job. “What we got from Legacy Supportworks was not just a company that will be there for us through the whole process, but be there for us through any other problems that we have in the future”, says Karen.

Before & after photos

Check out before and after photos from some of our completed projects.

  • Stabilizing a Crawlspace in Pampa, TX

    This home had crawlspace beams that were cracking and lacked stabilization. 

    Years of shimming had only been a “band-aid” fix and this customer was looking for a permanent solution.

    Our crew installed steel beams and steel smartjacks on engineered fill.

    The result was a permanently stabilized floor!

  • Concrete Repair in Spearman, TX

    A customer reached out after seeing a video of concrete lifting using injection methods and wondered if it could work for their front porch. Their home, built in 1968, features a large concrete porch with a section that originally had a planter between it and the house. At some point, the planter was covered with concrete, which has since sunk about 4 inches. Both sections measure approximately 8×12. While the porch itself was fine, they wanted a solution to lift the concrete over the old planter rather than starting from scratch. Legacy inspected the situation and provided a tailored solution to restore their home.

  • Foundation Repair in Guymon, Oklahoma

    Just four years after adding a first porch for relaxation, a homeowner in Guymon, OK found himself facing a disheartening problem – his beloved porch had settled a shocking 2 feet into the ground, taking his dreams of peaceful rocking chair afternoons with it. As depicted in our before photo, this alarming sinkage rendered the space unusable. To lift and stabilize the sinking structure, we deployed our trusted Push Pier system, meticulously engineered to provide strength and elevation from deep below the surface. The transformation is apparent in the after photo, where the porch now stands level and secure, promising many future years of comfort and stability. At Legacy Supportworks, reviving your home’s foundation to ensure lifelong enjoyment and safety is not just our mission—it’s our commitment to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a professionally installed basement dehumidifier last, and what maintenance does it need? 2026-10-08T14:40:35-05:00

A quality basement dehumidifier can typically last 8–12 years with proper care. Maintenance typically includes checking or replacing the filter and keeping the drain line clean. A system check about every six months is a good rule of thumb; always follow the manufacturer’s maintenance recommendations. 

How much does basement dehumidifier installation cost in [Target Location]? 2026-10-08T14:40:08-05:00

Cost depends on factors such as dehumidifier capacity, drainage requirements and whether ducting is needed. We’ll provide a free inspection and estimate so you’ll know what your basement needs and what it will cost. 

Is a portable dehumidifier enough for my basement? 2026-10-08T14:39:43-05:00

Often not. Portable units can have trouble in cool, damp basements, especially if they’re undersized. ENERGY STAR notes that frost can form on dehumidifier coils below about 65°F, reducing performance. Portable units may also require frequent bucket emptying. A professionally sized basement dehumidifier can provide continuous drainage and more dependable humidity control. 

Will a dehumidifier get rid of the musty smell in my basement? 2026-10-08T14:39:08-05:00

It should help. Musty odors are often associated with excess moisture and microbial growth. Lowering humidity makes the basement less favorable for that growth and can help remove the conditions causing the odor. A dehumidifier does not remove existing mold or replace proper mold remediation. 

What should I set my basement dehumidifier to? 2026-10-08T14:38:40-05:00

Aim for 45–50% relative humidity (RH). The EPA recommends keeping indoor humidity below 60% and ideally between 30% and 50% to help prevent moisture-related problems. 

What size dehumidifier do I need for my basement? 2026-10-08T14:38:04-05:00

It depends on the basement’s size, ceiling height, temperature and moisture level. ENERGY STAR recommends roughly 30–50+ pints per day for wet spaces, depending on square footage. We’ll evaluate your basement and recommend the right capacity during your free inspection. 

My basement is already waterproofed and stays dry. Do I still need a dehumidifier? 2026-10-08T14:37:27-05:00

Possibly. Waterproofing handles liquid water, but moisture can still enter through concrete as vapor and raise humidity. A dehumidifier controls that airborne moisture to help keep your basement dry and comfortable.
