The electricity should not run along the floor down there! Place the wiring a meter up. If you get a flood then.....redo it and do it right! And maintain a good temperature year-round in the basement to avoid moisture problems etc., never rely on shutting it down and just having a dehumidifier. It's better to have a good temp down there that's good for the whole house, and you won't have future problems. Keep in mind that a dehumidifier only works locally and has no effect in spaces farther away, behind walls, etc., while good heat distributes well in all spaces and keeps moisture away! Nice house otherwise! Take care of it, and it will be just as nice in ten years. Great
