Comprehensive Desiccant Dehumidification for Melissa
Construction Drying Services
Readings on slabs and framing show when materials are dry enough for the next stage of work.
Firefighting Water Drying
After a fire, water used by firefighters soaks walls, floors and ceilings. Desiccant drying helps dry those materials once debris is cleared.
Water Damage Dehumidification
Dehumidification runs alongside air movers, and readings are taken daily until every wet material is back to normal.
Crawl Space Drying
Readings on the wood framing are taken at each visit until they return to normal levels.
Mold Prevention Drying
In contained work areas, desiccant dehumidifiers keep the air dry while damaged materials are removed and framing is cleaned.
Red Flags for Desiccant Dehumidification in Melissa Properties
High Humidity Readings on Meter
A hygrometer that keeps reading high humidity days after a leak shows the space is not drying.
Efflorescence on Masonry Surfaces
White, powdery deposits on masonry show water moving through concrete or block.
Strong Damp Odor in Rooms

Step 3: Monitored Drying Cycle
