Our Dehumidifier Options

We install industry-leading systems built to handle the toughest South Carolina humidity:

Aprilaire Whole-Home Dehumidifiers

Designed to integrate with your HVAC system, keeping every room balanced and dry.

Crawlspace Dehumidifiers

Ideal for homes with moisture problems under the house, preventing mold and musty air from entering your living space.

These systems are built to run quietly, efficiently, and reliably — without constant bucket emptying like portable units.

Why It Matters

Why Whole-Home Dehumidifiers Matter

Humidity problems are common in Upstate South Carolina homes. Without proper control, moisture can quietly damage your home and your health.

Here are the most common issues dehumidifiers prevent:

Mold & Mildew Growth

High humidity creates the perfect environment for mold in crawlspaces and living areas.

Musty Odors

Excess moisture leads to that "old house smell" many homeowners notice in the summer.

High Energy Bills

Damp air makes your AC work harder, raising cooling costs.

Structural Damage

Moisture in crawlspaces can rot wood and compromise your home's foundation.

Routine dehumidification doesn't just improve comfort — it protects your home from long-term damage.

Common Misconceptions About Moisture

Homeowners often try to fix humidity problems the wrong way:

"Opening crawlspace vents helps."

Actually, it introduces hot, wet air that condenses in the crawlspace, creating the perfect environment for mold.

"A stronger filter will control moisture."

Filters don't manage humidity — they only catch particles. You need an active dehumidification system.

We'll show you the right solutions for your home and explain why they work.

Custom Solutions for Every Home

Every home is different. Some need a whole-home dehumidifier, while others just need a crawlspace unit to stop moisture at its source. We'll help you choose the right solution based on your goals, budget, and home design.

Extremely prompt and very helpful on the phone to troubleshoot before coming out. Ready available parts and he was very thorough in cleaning and checking to make sure everything else was in order with my HVAC unit. I highly recommend using Justin.

AC Diagnostic & Repair

So grateful for Justin. We had a refrigerant leak in our AC unit and as a result, had no cool air for a day. I contacted Justin and he was very prompt to come out the evening of the same day that I called him. We have a newborn and knowing that, he made sure to get us taken care of ASAP. I had contacted another company the day before, but Justin beat their price significantly for the repair. Thank you! Will gladly use 5 Lakes again!
