Moisture & Dehumidification under a real house, step by step
A dehumidifier in a crawl with no vapor barrier runs constantly trying to dry the entire earth under your house, and it never wins. The barrier is what makes the dehumidifier a reasonable size and a reasonable running cost.
Sizing matters more than brand. An undersized unit runs continuously and still loses ground in August; a correctly sized one cycles and holds the space in the range where wood stays dry and mold cannot establish.

FAQ
Under the house: moisture & dehumidification questions
What humidity should a crawl space be?
Under 60 percent, and ideally around 50. Above 60, wood absorbs moisture, mold grows, and insects arrive. A crawl space dehumidifier sized to the volume, draining to a pump or outside, holds it there. The reading is monitored rather than assumed, because a dehumidifier that has quietly stopped is a common finding.
Do I need a dehumidifier if the crawl space is encapsulated?
In most houses here, yes. Encapsulation stops moisture coming up from the ground and in from outside, but the space still exchanges air with the house and the ground stays cool. A dedicated dehumidifier or a small conditioned-air supply keeps the sealed space dry. Without one, a sealed space can end up as damp as an open one.
