Bringing humidity levels back to normal after water damage or in spaces prone to excess moisture.
Dehumidification is the process of removing excess moisture from the air, and it plays a central role in drying a property after water damage as well as managing spaces that are prone to humidity problems on an ongoing basis, such as basements or crawlspaces. MoldWise Restoration has provided dehumidification services in Peyton, CO for 15 years, both as part of larger water damage projects and as a standalone service.
During a water damage response, dehumidifiers work alongside air movers to pull moisture out of the air after it has been drawn out of wet materials through evaporation. Without a dehumidifier running, that moisture would simply resettle elsewhere in the property rather than actually leaving the space, which is why the two pieces of equipment are used together rather than one in place of the other.
Outside of active water damage situations, ongoing high humidity in a basement, crawlspace or other area can create the kind of persistent dampness that leads to musty odors, condensation on surfaces and conditions favorable to mold growth over time. In these cases, we assess the space to determine appropriate equipment sizing and, where relevant, whether a source of the humidity, such as poor ventilation or a moisture intrusion point, should be addressed as well.
We monitor humidity levels with a hygrometer throughout the dehumidification process, whether the job is part of a water damage response or an ongoing moisture concern, so that progress is measured rather than assumed. The goal in either case is bringing the space to a normal humidity range and, where possible, identifying steps that help keep it there.
Dehumidifiers are used alongside air movers so moisture actually leaves the space.
Available for ongoing damp basements and crawlspaces, not just active water losses.
Spaces are assessed to determine the right dehumidification capacity needed.
Hygrometer readings track progress toward a normal humidity range.
Evaluate the size of the area and the extent of the humidity problem.
Select dehumidifiers appropriate to the space and moisture level.
Track humidity with a hygrometer as equipment operates over several days.
Close out once humidity levels reach and hold a normal range.
No, it is also useful for ongoing high humidity in basements or crawlspaces that were not necessarily part of a specific water damage event.
Air movers help moisture evaporate from wet materials into the air, and dehumidifiers remove that moisture from the air so it does not resettle elsewhere in the property.
We track humidity with a hygrometer throughout the process and compare readings against a normal range for that type of space.
