Does anyone in their infinite wisdom know what a good moisture level is for a basement.
A few weeks back I bought a dehumidifier for the basement because we had a huge downpoor and the uphill side wall was damp and then a couple days later mildew/mold started to grow on the wall. All is well with basement now, but I have the dehumidifier set @ 50% any lower and it runs continous. @ 50 it runs for a short period of time then shuts off for while and then runs for a brief period and so on and so forth.
