  • Remote humidistat on dehumidifier

    Hello all. I recently had a company to come in to do a major overhaul on my crawlspace. I had them to do an encapsulation of the space and also install a crawlspace dehumidifier to address any humidity in the space to keep mold and termites from returning (I also had a complete termite treatment around the entire house prior to having this done). The crawlspace is extremely cramped and difficult to maneuver around. My crawlspace is L-shaped (garage on cement pad completes what would be a rectangle). They installed a Sante Fe Edge dehumidifier and I've put some remote humidity sensors down there to keep track of how it's doing. The part of the space which was the worst is the very back corner which happens to be furthest away from the dehumidifier unit. Due to the tight space, they couldn't put the unit back there. I've got a sensor in the back corner and one beside the unit and the one beside the unit reads about 50% which is excellent but in the back corner it's 65% If I installed a remote humidistat and placed it in the back corner area would that fix my issue so the unit measured from that and ran until that area was in the 50% range, or do I need some kind of fan or something to stir the air?
