About Dehumidifiers

Sarah_Hone asked:


I had 3/4″ white ash finished hardwood floors installed in July this year and in a couple of rooms I have noticed a rippling effect especially in the kitchen - we have just finished the remodel of our kitchen so I have not really even used it yet! A carpenter friend suggested running a dehumidifer in the room as usually excess moisture causes this to happen, we have done that but the wood does not seem to be going flat again…. any suggestions?????
Thanks - Sarah

I have a damp basement (almost always has a small puddle of water).
I want to store a new expensive bike down there as it’s the most secure place for it - but I don’t want it to rust away (has a steel frame).
I was just wondering if anyone had experience if a dehumidifier running all of the time would be enough to prevent any problems with the bike?

What kind of things will I need to take in to account when I buy a dehumidifer for my cellar. It consists of two rooms with an archway between and no external access (the whole cellar is underground). The house was built in 1860 and is made of Yorkshire Stone.

One of the reasons for the dehumidifer is that I have silverfish in the kitchen and I believe the damp is coming from the cellar.

I have a problem with damp on a wall in my flat and think that maybe its because of a lack of ventilation, would a dehumidifier help to prevent the dampness?
