Comprehensive Desiccant Dehumidification for Alta

Flood Drying Services

Flood drying pairs desiccant units with air movers aimed at wet materials, with readings taken every day until the structure is dry.

Basement Dehumidification

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

Construction Drying Services

Readings on slabs and framing show when materials are dry enough for the next stage of work.

Firefighting Water Drying

Drying after a fire is done once wet debris is removed, so the structure dries cleanly before rebuilding.

Emergency Dehumidification

Emergency dehumidification starts as soon as standing water is removed, which limits swelling, warping and odor.
