Should I run a dehumidifier continuously during wet months?

Yes, run a dehumidifier continuously during wet months, and fix any water entry points first. Set it to 50% humidity or lower and empty the bucket regularly—or get one that drains into a floor drain. But don’t skip basics like clearing gutters, checking grading, and sealing foundation cracks, because a dehumidifier can’t keep up if you’re actively letting water in.
