Specialized Desiccant Dehumidification in Calhan, CO
Construction Drying Services
Readings on slabs and framing show when materials are dry enough for the next stage of work.
Crawl Space Drying
Crawl spaces are cool and damp, which suits desiccant units. Dry air is pushed in to pull moisture from the joists and subfloor.
Flood Drying Services
After floodwater is pumped out, desiccant dehumidifiers can bring the air to very low humidity, which pulls moisture out of walls, floors and framing faster.
Basement Dehumidification
Cool basements are where desiccant units often help most, since they keep removing moisture when the air temperature is low.
Firefighting Water Drying
After a fire, water used by firefighters soaks walls, floors and ceilings. Desiccant drying helps dry those materials once debris is cleared.
