There must be guidelines somewhere, that's what I'm looking for. Moisture
is cumulative, no? I'd like to get rid of what's there (along with the
smell of it), and contain it in the future.

thanks,

I need to size a dehumidifier for a basement that's about 1,050 sq ft.
The space is irregular but open, and there is a floor drain
available. I don't know how to specify one, and am probably asking
the wrong questions on google. Is there a chart somewhere that will
help me size a unit.
This is a damp basement, and for the first time it's smelling moldy
(or maybe just crappy). We rarely go down there, so is a
dehumidifier even our best bet?

thanks,

It is really hard to say. It depends on how much moisture is coming
in. That is difficult to measure.
