I have noticed over the past two summers (the # of summers I have lived in my house) that a certain area of my first level hardwoods tend to buckle during the summer. Could this be due to the increased humidity in the basement? Would a dehumidifier solve the problem and avoid future ones? What are the other benefits of investing in a new dehumidifier?
The floor always re-settles once winter gets here (I live in Western NY).
Thanks for any and all advice.
BGH
