re: Dehumidifier question

did think about that. Hopefully it's not an issue, because like I said the laundry room door will remain open
ETA: ONe thing just dawned on me...the air intake for my HVAC is right outside my laundry room, which leads to my garage thus making it the most humid place in my house. Really hoping that has something to do with it and putting a dehumidifier there fixes it.

That’s certainly possible, and the cost of a portable dehumidifier will likely be not any more expensive, than a HVAC service call, and if I was in your shoes I’d purchase one to try to get some quick relief on the humidity issue. But at an appropriate time I’d have your HVAC system checked as it should be doing a much better job of maintaining a comfortable humidity.

Honestly that’s probably the best place for a portable dehumidifier then. It will take out some of the humidity of your most humid area, prior to going into the intake. It will heat up the area a couple degrees, so you may want to raise the temperature in the house especially if your thermostat is in that area.
Leaky houses and tight houses can both suffer from high humidity, just from cooking and showering, but can be made worse by oversized units and other variables. It’s a lot harder to dial in a perfect system on an existing house without starting with all new stuff. There are a number of ways to achieve lower humidity in the house, it’s true dehumidifiers are a bandaid, whole home being the best option but portable being effective a couple months out of the year.
