Specialized Desiccant Dehumidification in Des Moines, WA

Construction Drying Services

New construction can trap moisture in concrete, drywall mud and framing. Desiccant units help dry the building before finishes go in.

Basement Dehumidification

Basement concrete and framing release water slowly. Desiccant drying keeps humidity low so they can dry in a reasonable time.

Mold Prevention Drying

In contained work areas, desiccant dehumidifiers keep the air dry while damaged materials are removed and framing is cleaned.

Firefighting Water Drying

Drying after a fire is done once wet debris is removed, so the structure dries cleanly before rebuilding.

Water Damage Dehumidification

After a leak or flood, dehumidifiers remove moisture from the air so wet drywall, wood and carpet can dry out.

Step 4: Confirmation and Reporting
