How Do You Dry Buildings?

Our crew accelerates natural drying by using dehumidification, heat, and ventilation. We can use portable heaters to dry affected areas faster. Our team also uses desiccant dehumidifiers, which absorb moisture from the air and eliminate it from the desiccant material as water. Fresh air also plays an essential role when it comes to drying a property. In the right conditions, the passing of large amounts of relatively dry warm air over damp surfaces achieves effective drying. We can accomplish this by opening all windows and doors when the weather conditions are conducive.
