Yeah, you'd be surprised how damp a basement can get without knowing it. In our last house, we never had any flooding but I think there was a high water table and we had the dehumidifier running 24/7, every day of the year. Even during the driest winter months it would suck a couple gallons of water out of the air every day. During the summer it would fill up a 35 gallon bucket every few days. This is interior Connecticut, not some Louisiana bayou town or something. Basement was unfinished, but still, that's a lot of water just sitting in the air.
