Dehumidification in the United States

As we walk you through the work, we clarify this: Because of how much water is still in the building, and how much capacity it takes to catch it.

Before we move forward, we help you understand this: For a damp basement in summer, yes. Here is what this means for your property: For a water loss, no, because home units are rated for a few pints per day in comfortable conditions and cannot handle the load.

To help you plan with less uncertainty, we note this: LGR stands for low grain refrigerant. Before we move forward, we help you understand this: Our restoration team uses this point to organize the work: It is a refrigerant dehumidifier with an extra heat exchanger, which lets it keep pulling water out of air that is already fairly dry.

Before we move forward, we help you understand this: A specialized dehumidifier passes air over silica gel, which absorbs moisture without needing a cold coil.

For a calmer next step, remember this: It comes from the volume of the affected space in cubic feet and how wet the materials are.

We use this detail to guide the recovery plan: For ordinary materials we generally hold the drying space between about 30 and 50 percent relative humidity.

To help you plan with less uncertainty, we note this: Relative humidity tells you how full the air is compared to what it could hold at that temperature.
