for the past couple of years I was able to get by with a fan running
24/7 and flipping on my dehumidifier for a couple of hours a day but this year with the same practice I've started to see the presence of a white mold on some leather shoes and some wooden products close to the floor. I decided I needed to run my dehumidifier longer and add another fan but what ever I do I still can't get my humidity under 60. My basement is about 600 sq/ft and I'm using a 45pt dehumifier. From everything I've read on the sizing chart it should be more than sufficient. What could have changed in my basement that is making it more humid? I'm in CT and this July has been the 6th rainiest on record, could that have something to do with it?- posted
