Comprehensive Desiccant Dehumidification for Tukwila
Water Damage Dehumidification
After a leak or flood, dehumidifiers remove moisture from the air so wet drywall, wood and carpet can dry out.
Construction Drying Services
Readings on slabs and framing show when materials are dry enough for the next stage of work.
Basement Dehumidification
Once readings show the basement is dry, equipment is removed and the space is ready for repairs.
Crawl Space Drying
Water is removed from the crawl space first, then desiccant drying brings humidity down so the framing can dry.
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.
