Drying & Dehumidification Services

When is Dehumidifcation Necessary?

Dehumidification is necessary if you come across these situations:

• When you suspect the growth of mold around your house or working space
• A fire broke out at your house and to extinguish it; fire brigades infiltrated a lot of water
• Water entered your house due to excessive flooding
• Water pipes bursts and a lot of water infiltrated your house
• When exhaust fans and air-conditioners are not working properly
• If you have a lot of cooking activities at your place, then dehumidification is a must
• In cold climates, when a lot of steam is generated from hot water
• In basements due to damp climates

Keeping humidity below 50 percent has countless advantages. One of the main advantages is that the mold will not develop as it develops from excessive moisture In the air. Even excessive moisture develops fungus that can cause very lethal illnesses. 

Moreover, if you have noticed an odor smell in the basements, that is because of the damp climate. So dehumidification can bring your water vapor levels down in the air and can create a healthy environment around you. 

Since mold is triggered by moisture, it also brings allergies with it. It causes breathing problems, sneezing, rashes, watery eyes, runny nose, and irritation in the throat. Hence, by the dehumidification process, these allergies can be avoided. 

Our Dehumidifcation Process

Building materials such as wood drywall hold some amount of moisture. However, if the moisture becomes excessive, the material may swell and break down if not treated on time. To check the humidity in the wall, we use hygrometers. If the levels are within the range, then you don’t have to worry about it. And if the levels have crossed the limit, then we’ll perform the required procedures. 

Upon arrival, our technicians will look for damages that have been caused by growing mold. They will look for the root cause while inspecting each and everything. Moreover, once they have found the cause, they will plan all the procedures required to remove mold and the excessive moisture in the vicinity. 

We use dehumidifiers and industrial fans to speed up the evaporation process and make the interior dry. This heavy machinery will evaporate all the moisture from walls, floors, and other non-accessible areas. We use advanced measuring tools to ensure that we have met the required moisture levels.

Time Required to Complete the Job

Dehumidification procedures may vary from 2-5 days, depending on your location, weather, and humidity levels. The process may take longer if you live in a cold and wet area. At the same time, moisture extraction will take less time if you reside in a hot and dry climate. 

Moreover, you can get rid of humidity yourself without any sophisticated machinery. But it depends on your location and weather conditions. Perhaps if you have those factors, you can open windows for cross-ventilation, eventually stabilizing the humidity levels. But this is a very time taking process and is not very effective. Hence, if you are looking for a reliable company, then Regional Mold can help you.
