Humidity leaching potential out of enclosure(s)

[Homebody]

No, Homebody had it right. The question was more about if humidity leaking out of a given enclosure is enough to affect the humidity levels in the basement itself, which again is something my mother is always concerned about and I'm striving as much as possible to not make this hobby interfere with her own life as much as I can manage.

I understand your mother's concern. I lived in a house with a humid basement. It always feels damp and chilly, and smells of mildew. Our humidifier had to be emptied often or it would overflow. She's fighting hard to get the mildew out and she hears you're putting humidity in. Seems like you're working at cross purposes. Try reassuring her that what your doing isn't adding to the problem to any detectable degree. It's like leaving a glass of water out on the table. It's not enough to increase the humidity in the room much less the entire basement.
