Specialized Desiccant Dehumidification in Des Moines, WA
Construction Drying Services

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.

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