"Although I have a dry basement, it does get "humid" down there when it rains. So, we have a good humidifier to deal with any dampness. To avoid emptying the bucket all the time, we mounted the humidifier on a platform about eye-high so we could run a plastic tube from the humidifier over to the set-tub we have in the laundry area. Works great!"
QBeth-sure hope you meant de-humidifier and not humidifier. Lol, if you have a humidifier down there, no wonder you have so many problems with moisture.
Smart thinking on the positionong of it.
