Basement Humidity
We live in central NH and our basement is extremely humid in the summer and we usually run a dehumidifier non-stop from spring until fall. This year we are still running the dehumidifier (we have had unusually warm weather and rain). Last night I purchased a cheap $10 thermostat w/a hygrometer and was shocked when I checked it tonight to find that the basement is 48 degrees and the humidity is 60%.
I would like to treat the basement to make it more bearable in the summer, but don't want to use a toxic materials.
Any recommendations?
Thank you!

You have to stop the moisture from the outside. If your dehumidifier is running that much you need a better unit. At 48 degrees a off the shelf unit is not going to do it. You need a good unit
