Your Questions About Dehumidifiers For Basements

John asks…
Can a dehumidifier be safely used in same room as computer without damaging the hard drive from magnetic field?
The dehumidifier works great at controlling the humidity in the basement but it and the computer are in a small room and was wondering if the dehumidifier generates electromagnetic fields that could potentially damage the hard drive. Whatever advice that could be provided would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help!

admin answers:
Nope, dehumidifier’s don’t have a electromagnetic field that would cause any damage to any of the computer’s components

Paul asks…
If we had 2″ of water in basement, do we need to replace drywall?
The water came in between midnight and 7:30 a.m. At 8:30 we had a restoration company come in and vacuum the water out and install blowers and dehumidifiers. The blowers have been running for 3 days now and the company is saying we need to rip the baseboards off and replace about a foot of our drywall. We only had 2″ of water. Are they telling us the truth?

admin answers:
Absolutely!! Don’t dare take a chance. Your health isn’t worth it and drywall will grow some nasty mold!!
