Signs to look for
When to call us for dehumidification
With local guidance, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.
The room feels muggy even though the floor is dry
For a clear next step close to home, a dry looking surface with heavy air means moisture is still moving out of the materials.
Your household dehumidifier fills up and the room stays damp
From your first call, small units are rated for a few pints per day at comfortable conditions.
Paper, cardboard and labels go limp in nearby rooms
With local guidance, paper responds to humidity faster than almost anything else in a building.
A musty smell that is strongest in closets and cabinets
With local guidance, closed spaces have the least air exchange and the highest relative humidity. From your first call, that is where a damp building starts to smell first.
White powdery bloom on block or concrete
From your first call, moisture moving through masonry carries minerals to the surface and leaves them behind.
What happens
How we handle dehumidification
Our neighborhood response team adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.
Temperature and humidity readings taken in three places
As your nearby response team helps, we read the affected area, an unaffected area and outside the building.
A moisture load and sizing calculation
For a clear next step close to home, dehumidifier sizing comes from the cubic feet of the space and how wet and dense the materials are.
Professional dehumidifiers placed for airflow
For a clear next step close to home, a low grain refrigerant dehumidifier condenses water out of the air on a cold coil and drains it away.
Desiccant units where refrigerant cannot finish the job
With local guidance, a specialized dehumidifier uses silica gel to pull air far drier than a refrigerant dehumidifier can.
A closed drying system established
From your first call, windows and exterior doors stay shut so the equipment controls a known volume of air.
Continuous drainage set up
As your nearby response team helps, every unit is run to a drain, a sink or a condensate pump.

Day 2 -
7
The load drops and machines come out
As your nearby response team helps, as the air holds less water, fewer units are needed to hold the space dry.

Room volume in cubic feet
For a clear next step close to home, dehumidifier sizing follows air volume, not floor area.How wet and how dense the materials are
As your nearby response team helps, carpet and drywall give up water quickly and create a heavy early load.Refrigerant versus desiccant equipment
For a clear next step close to home, an Professional dehumidifier covers most homes at a moderate day rate.Electrical capacity in the building
From your first call, each unit needs its own circuit headroom. From your first call, older panels sometimes limit how much equipment can run, which stretches the schedule.Outdoor conditions and season
With local guidance, humid outdoor air raises the load every time a door opens. From your first call, the same room can need an extra unit in a humid month.Drainage and setup complexity
For a clear next step close to home, a nearby sink makes drainage simple.
Why timing matters
What can happen when the area stays wet
As your nearby response team helps, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.
Fans without dehumidifiers just move the water
From your first call, air movers pull moisture out of your materials and hand it to the air.
Above 60 percent humidity, growth gets easy
From your first call, damp materials in humid air can support mold within 24 to 48 hours.
Undersized equipment stalls the whole job
From your first call, a unit that cannot reach a useful grain depression runs all week without result.
Open windows can add moisture instead of removing it

Helpful service information
What to know about dehumidification
From your first call, start with the short explanation. As your nearby response team helps, open a card if you want a little more detail.

Read the explanation
For a clear next step close to home, drying is a two step handoff and dehumidification is step two.
How the next step is decided
With local guidance, relative humidity is a percentage of what the air could hold at its current temperature, so it changes when temperature changes even if nothing dried.

Common questions
Questions about dehumidification
Why do I need dehumidifiers if the water was already extracted?
For a clear next step close to home, because of how much water is still in the building, and how much capacity it takes to catch it.
Can I just use my own dehumidifier from the hardware store?
From your first call, for a damp basement in summer, yes. As your nearby response team helps, for a water loss, no, because home units are rated for a few pints per day in comfortable conditions and cannot handle the load.
What is an Professional dehumidifier?
For a clear next step close to home, lGR stands for low grain refrigerant. For a clear next step close to home, it is a refrigerant dehumidifier with an extra heat exchanger, which lets it keep pulling water out of air that is already fairly dry.
What is a specialized dehumidifier and when do you use one?
As your nearby response team helps, a specialized dehumidifier passes air over silica gel, which absorbs moisture without needing a cold coil.
How many dehumidifiers does my house need?
From your first call, it comes from the volume of the affected space in cubic feet and how wet the materials are.
What humidity should the room be during drying?
With local guidance, for ordinary materials we generally hold the drying space between about 30 and 50 percent relative humidity.
What do the numbers on the meter actually mean?
For a clear next step close to home, relative humidity tells you how full the air is compared to what it could hold at that temperature.
