Desiccant Dehumidification Methods Used in Mansfield
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.
Firefighting Water Drying
Firefighting water can soak several rooms at once. Large drying setups remove that moisture so repairs can begin.
Construction Drying Services
New construction can trap moisture in concrete, drywall mud and framing. Desiccant units help dry the building before finishes go in.
Crawl Space Drying
Water is removed from the crawl space first, then desiccant drying brings humidity down so the framing can dry.
Emergency Dehumidification
Equipment is sized to the space on the first visit and adjusted each day based on readings.
