If your basement still feels damp after improving ventilation and sealing the rim joist area with insulation, a high-performance dehumidifier may be the best solution. A dehumidifier removes excess moisture from the air, helping maintain the ideal 30-50% humidity level to prevent mold growth, musty odors, and structural damage.
