Basement dehumidifier maintenance

[Eric Samuels]

Hi everyone,

I’m currently house hacking a property in Philly and the basement gets very humid during the summer. I currently have a dehumidifier down there but I’m planning on moving out of Philly soon. What’s the best way to maintain a dehumidifier remotely? I’m working with a property manager who says they never use dehumidifiers for the high maintenance but shouldn’t I be worried about mold in the basement? Would love to hear people’s thoughts especially remote investors who have Philly properties.

Thanks!
