Desiccant Dehumidification Services in Union Hill

Crawl Space Drying

Crawl spaces are cool and damp, which suits desiccant units. Dry air is pushed in to pull moisture from the joists and subfloor.

Firefighting Water Drying

After a fire, water used by firefighters soaks walls, floors and ceilings. Desiccant drying helps dry those materials once debris is cleared.

Mold Prevention Drying

Drying an area quickly after affected materials are removed limits regrowth. Desiccant units help reach low humidity in closed work areas.

Basement Dehumidification

Basement concrete and framing release water slowly. Desiccant drying keeps humidity low so they can dry in a reasonable time.

Water Damage Dehumidification

Desiccant or refrigerant dehumidifiers are chosen based on the space, the temperature and how dry the air needs to get.

Red Flags for Desiccant Dehumidification in Union Hill Properties

Cold, Damp Feeling in Air

Air that feels cold and damp, especially in lower levels, can be too cool for standard dehumidifiers to work well.

Peeling Paint or Wallpaper

Paint or wallpaper that peels after a leak has moisture behind it that has not dried.

Warped Wood Floors or Trim

Wood floors or trim that cup or warp after a leak are still taking on moisture.

Spongy Drywall or Soft Spots

Drywall that feels soft or spongy has absorbed water and may need removal if it does not dry.

How Desiccant Dehumidification Works in Union Hill

Step 1: Initial Damage Inspection

Humidity and moisture readings are taken across the affected area to set the drying plan.

Step 2: Deployment of Drying Equipment
