What a dehumidifier does for Healey homes
The idea is simple: the unit draws in damp air, the moisture condenses and collects in a tank (or drains away), and drier air is pushed back into the room. For a cellar or cold room in Healey, you'll want a model rated to work at lower temperatures and matched to the volume you're drying.
