What We Check
Drainage
A blocked or badly pitched drain line is the first thing we check. It is the most common reason a whole-home dehumidifier leaks or shuts itself down.
Airflow
A dehumidifier can only pull moisture from the air that reaches it. Restricted ducting, a dirty filter or a failing blower all cut performance.
Humidity Controls
If the control is reading the wrong humidity or is set incorrectly, the unit will either never start or never stop. We test the control and the settings together.
Electrical and Components
We test the wiring, control board and internal components to find faults that stop the unit running or cause it to cycle unpredictably.
Coil and Refrigerant Circuit
A dehumidifier that runs but removes little water often has a coil or refrigerant circuit problem. We assess operating conditions rather than guess.
Sizing and Placement
Sometimes the unit is working exactly as designed and is simply too small, or placed where it cannot reach the damp air. We will tell you if that is the case.

Why Damp Air Costs You
Excess indoor humidity is not just uncomfortable. It feeds mould and dust mites, warps floors and doors, leaves a musty smell that never quite clears, and makes an air conditioner work harder to reach the same comfort. Fixing the dehumidifier usually fixes several complaints at once.
What to Note Before We Arrive
Tell us whether the unit runs at all, whether there is water where it should not be, and what the humidity reads on the control. Those three answers usually narrow the fault before a technician is at the door, which keeps the visit short.
