Desiccant Dehumidification Services in Wharton
Flood Drying Services
After floodwater is pumped out, desiccant dehumidifiers can bring the air to very low humidity, which pulls moisture out of walls, floors and framing faster.
Construction Drying Services
New construction can trap moisture in concrete, drywall mud and framing. Desiccant units help dry the building before finishes go in.
Emergency Dehumidification
Emergency dehumidification starts as soon as standing water is removed, which limits swelling, warping and odor.
Mold Prevention Drying
In contained work areas, desiccant dehumidifiers keep the air dry while damaged materials are removed and framing is cleaned.
Crawl Space Drying
Readings on the wood framing are taken at each visit until they return to normal levels.
