Desiccant Dehumidification Services in Belmont
Emergency Dehumidification
Emergency dehumidification starts as soon as standing water is removed, which limits swelling, warping and odor.
Water Damage Dehumidification
Desiccant or refrigerant dehumidifiers are chosen based on the space, the temperature and how dry the air needs to get.
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.
Basement Dehumidification
Basement concrete and framing release water slowly. Desiccant drying keeps humidity low so they can dry in a reasonable time.
Mold Prevention Drying
Drying an area quickly after affected materials are removed limits regrowth. Desiccant units help reach low humidity in closed work areas.
