Specialized Desiccant Dehumidification in St. James, LA

Water Damage Dehumidification

Desiccant or refrigerant dehumidifiers are chosen based on the space, the temperature and how dry the air needs to get.

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.

Mold Prevention Drying

Drying continues until readings on the remaining framing are normal, before walls are closed up again.

Crawl Space Drying

Readings on the wood framing are taken at each visit until they return to normal levels.

Construction Drying Services

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

Active Mold Spots

Dark spots appearing on walls or ceilings mean materials stayed damp long enough for mold.

Cold, Damp Feeling in Air

Air that feels cold and damp, especially in lower levels, can be too cool for standard dehumidifiers to work well.

Strong Damp Odor in Rooms

A damp smell that stays in a room after cleanup means materials there are still holding moisture.

Any recent leak or flood that soaked drywall, flooring or framing needs drying beyond a household unit.
