FAQs on Professional Dehumidification Services
Are industrial dehumidifiers used in homes?
Yes. Commercial units are often used in homes after water damage because they dry materials much faster.
What is involved in professional dehumidification services?
Measuring moisture, placing commercial dehumidifiers and air movers, taking daily readings and running equipment until materials are dry.
What equipment is used for attic drying?
Dehumidifiers sized for attics, air movers aimed at decking and rafters and moisture meters to track the wood.
How does whole-house dehumidification work after water damage?
Dehumidifiers are placed in each affected room and moved as readings drop, so humidity falls across the house.
Is water extraction part of the dehumidification process?
Extraction comes first. Dehumidifiers do far more good once standing water has been removed from floors and carpet.
