Comprehensive Desiccant Dehumidification for Lake Forest Park
Basement Dehumidification
Cool basements are where desiccant units often help most, since they keep removing moisture when the air temperature is low.
Emergency Dehumidification
Equipment is sized to the space on the first visit and adjusted each day based on readings.
Flood Drying Services
After floodwater is pumped out, desiccant dehumidifiers can bring the air to very low humidity, which pulls moisture out of walls, floors and framing faster.
Construction Drying Services
Construction drying speeds up schedules by lowering humidity so slabs and drywall reach the moisture levels flooring and paint need.
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.
