Desiccant Dehumidification Services in Gaithersburg

Emergency Dehumidification

Equipment is sized to the space on the first visit and adjusted each day based on readings.

Construction Drying Services

Construction drying speeds up schedules by lowering humidity so slabs and drywall reach the moisture levels flooring and paint need.

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.

Basement Dehumidification

Basement concrete and framing release water slowly. Desiccant drying keeps humidity low so they can dry in a reasonable time.

Water Damage Dehumidification

After a leak or flood, dehumidifiers remove moisture from the air so wet drywall, wood and carpet can dry out.
