Comprehensive Desiccant Dehumidification for American Fork
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.
Crawl Space Drying
Water is removed from the crawl space first, then desiccant drying brings humidity down so the framing can dry.
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
Cool basements are where desiccant units often help most, since they keep removing moisture when the air temperature is low.
Water Damage Dehumidification
After a leak or flood, dehumidifiers remove moisture from the air so wet drywall, wood and carpet can dry out.
When to Consider Desiccant Dehumidification in American Fork
Musty Smell in Stored Items
Boxes and fabrics that smell musty show the space has stayed damp too long.
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.
Efflorescence on Masonry Surfaces
White, powdery deposits on masonry show water moving through concrete or block.
Strong Damp Odor in Rooms
A damp smell that stays in a room after cleanup means materials there are still holding moisture.
