Does a dehumidifier or sump pump help the most to insure a waterproof basement?
You can have a dehumidifier AND a sump pump, and still have water in the basement. A dehumidifier helps decrease the humidity due to the lack of ventilation in a basement. A sump pump facilitates drainage of water, as a basement has no natural drainage. Neither prevents water from coming into the basement through the walls or the seams of the floor and walls. If you have problems with water coming into the basement, consult a professional who can advise you of the cause and explain the options to remedy the matter. Neither a dehumidifier nor a sump pump will totally insure a waterproof basement. Dehumidifiers simply remove dampness. Sump pumps do not remove damnpness but will drain off water.
