| how so i keep the humidity out of my safe its in the basement and i dont have any room for it upstairs. have one of the heat sticks you plug in i dont think that helps and i just bought one of those metal cans with beads in it that is suppose to help what so you guy think any advice |
Get a dehumidifier for the basement, but make sure that you empty it as often as needed(depending on humidity) for it to be efficient. Make sure your safe is off the floor, ie. put on a pallet or several 2x4s. You can also get a monitor to let you know exactly what the humidity level is(good for guns and ammo). Those along with your heat rod you should be good to go as long as you don't have a river running through your basement

| I have a dehumidifier in the storm shelter (vault) that has a dehumidifier in it that drains thru a small hole in the wall to the sump pump and it is set at 55% humidity. For some reason that number sounded familiar what I hear other people talk about as it's low enough to keep out humidity but not so low that it'll start effecting wood stocks. We have another humidifier that takes care of the rest of the basement that also flows into the sump pump. |
