Apologies if this is the wrong place.
I have a new home where I would like to plumb the 70-100 gallon sump (disregard title) into a small basement that is only accessibly via an outside door, so airflow is a bit of a concern.
The basement is about 7 ft high, 8ft x 5ft. My primary concern before I put any water down there is to ensure humidity doesn’t cause water damage/mold.
The basement does connect to a crawl space and I can install a vent to the outside with a humidity sensor and a central air duct runs through the basement but no vent currently. Is a small vent connected to central air and a vent fan to the outside enough to prevent any issues? Am I not considering something?
Outside humidity tends to be 30-40%
Would really like to hear some opinions.
