Dehumidification and Drying is key to controlling the extent of water damage!
Dehumidification can save property owners, businesses, and insurance companies money in restoration and replacement costs, as well as the costs of downtime and delayed production schedules.
Dehumidifiers are capable of reducing high humidity and moisture levels to normal levels quickly. Moisture that is not removed through extraction must be removed by dehumidification to prevent further permanent damage. Air is circulated over and under surfaces, causing the moisture to evaporate into the air. By extracting water vapor from the air, dehumidifiers lower the relative humidity, which in turn, increases the rate of evaporation. In a water damaged structure, dehumidifiers pull in the moist, humid air and then discharge dry, warm air. The dry air acts like a sponge, absorbing moisture from wet materials. The two most common types of dehumidifiers are:
- Refrigerant Dehumidifiers work similarly to air conditioners.
- Desiccant Dehumidifiers use chemicals that readily absorb moisture from the air.
The dehumidifiers operated by professionals in the King Dry network have the power and capability of removing water and moisture from drywall, plaster, interior paint, cement floors, carpets, insulation, and basements. Drying time is reduced because restoration experts adjust the locations and types of dehumidifiers as drying conditions change.
