Estimating & Workflow
Desiccant dehumidification
A drying technique that pulls moisture out of the air with a desiccant dehumidifier instead of a refrigerant-based unit. Restoration contractors use it after water damage when temperatures are low or when a room needs steady, low-humidity drying. The machine draws damp air across a moisture-absorbing material and returns drier air to the space, helping to dry walls, floors, and contents as part of an organized drying plan.
