Specialized Desiccant Dehumidification in Lafayette, OR

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

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

Firefighting Water Drying

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

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.

Paint or wallpaper that peels after a leak has moisture behind it that has not dried.

Step 4: Restoration Verification

Readings are compared to unaffected dry areas before any equipment is removed from the site.
