Signs to look for

When to call us for dehumidification

As materials are evaluated, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.

Condensation on windows, mirrors or cold pipes

As materials are evaluated, condensation forms when humid air touches a surface at or below its dew point.

The room feels muggy even though the floor is dry

Across the affected building area, a dry looking surface with heavy air means moisture is still moving out of the materials.

Your household dehumidifier fills up and the room stays damp

From the building building assessment, small units are rated for a few pints per day at comfortable conditions.

Paper, cardboard and labels go limp in nearby rooms

As materials are evaluated, paper responds to humidity faster than almost anything else in a building.

A musty smell that is strongest in closets and cabinets

As materials are evaluated, closed spaces have the least air exchange and the highest relative humidity. From the building building assessment, that is where a damp building starts to smell first.

White powdery bloom on block or concrete

From the building building assessment, moisture moving through masonry carries minerals to the surface and leaves them behind.

What happens

How we handle dehumidification

Our building recovery team adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.

Temperature and humidity readings taken in three places

For sound structural recovery, we read the affected area, an unaffected area and outside the building.

A moisture load and sizing calculation

Across the affected building area, dehumidifier sizing comes from the cubic feet of the space and how wet and dense the materials are.

Professional dehumidifiers placed for airflow

Across the affected building area, a low grain refrigerant dehumidifier condenses water out of the air on a cold coil and drains it away.

Desiccant units where refrigerant cannot finish the job

As materials are evaluated, a specialized dehumidifier uses silica gel to pull air far drier than a refrigerant dehumidifier can.

A closed drying system established

From the building building assessment, windows and exterior doors stay shut so the equipment controls a known volume of air.

Continuous drainage set up

For sound structural recovery, every unit is run to a drain, a sink or a condensate pump.

What to expect

What to expect from our building recovery team

Across the affected building area, here is how we usually handle dehumidification near California.

1
We ask about the space, not just the spill

As materials are evaluated, room sizes, ceiling height, what kind of floors and walls, and how the building is heated or cooled.
Your call
2
Readings before equipment

For sound structural recovery, a technician takes temperature and humidity in the wet area, in an unaffected room and outdoors.
On arrival
3
Sizing math and placement

For sound structural recovery, we calculate the volume in cubic feet, weigh the material load, and place the units.
First hours on site
4
The space becomes a closed system

Across the affected building area, windows and exterior doors are shut, interior doors are set, and drainage is run.
Day 1
5
Grain depression verified before we leave

As materials are evaluated, each unit is checked for how much moisture it is pulling out of the air passing through it.
Day 1, evening
6
Readings compared and equipment adjusted

As materials are evaluated, we log the numbers daily and compare them to the day before.
Day 2
7
The load drops and machines come out

For sound structural recovery, as the air holds less water, fewer units are needed to hold the space dry.
Day 3 to 4

Understanding the cost

What can affect the price

As materials are evaluated, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. As materials are evaluated, these examples show what may change the estimate.

Common situation	What the estimate may include	Typical range
Professional dehumidifier, per unit per day	From the building assessment, national estimate. Across the affected building area, one unit typically serves a wet room, and larger areas need several.	$70 to $110
Specialized dehumidifier, per day	From the building assessment, national estimate for smaller portable and towable units. For sound structural recovery, trailer mounted systems on large losses cost more.	$200 to $500
Typical home dehumidification, two units for four days	From the building assessment, national estimate including placement, drainage and daily readings. Across the affected building area, air movers and extraction are separate.	$700 to $1,600
Whole floor or open plan dehumidification, four to six days	From the building assessment, national estimate. From the building assessment, volume and ceiling height move this range more than square footage does.	$2,000 to $6,000
Large commercial or dense material drying with desiccant support, per day	As materials are evaluated, national estimate covering the desiccant unit, ducting and supporting refrigerant equipment.	$600 to $1,500
Electricity per dehumidifier per day	Across the affected building area, national estimate depending on local rates and unit size. As materials are evaluated, air movers add a smaller amount each.	$2 to $7

Room volume in cubic feet
Across the affected building area, dehumidifier sizing follows air volume, not floor area. From the building assessment, tall ceilings, open stairwells and lofts add load to the same footprint.
How wet and how dense the materials are
For sound structural recovery, carpet and drywall give up water quickly and create a heavy early load.
Refrigerant versus desiccant equipment
Across the affected building area, an Professional dehumidifier covers most homes at a moderate day rate.
Electrical capacity in the building
From the building assessment, each unit needs its own circuit headroom. From the building assessment, older panels sometimes limit how much equipment can run, which stretches the schedule.
Outdoor conditions and season
As materials are evaluated, humid outdoor air raises the load every time a door opens.
Drainage and setup complexity
Across the affected building area, a nearby sink makes drainage simple. Across the affected building area, long hose runs, a condensate pump, or upper floor placement all add setup labor.

Why timing matters

What can happen when the area stays wet

For sound structural recovery, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

Fans without dehumidifiers just move the water

From the building building assessment, air movers pull moisture out of your materials and hand it to the air.

Above 60 percent humidity, growth gets easy

From the building building assessment, damp materials in humid air can support mold within 24 to 48 hours.

Undersized equipment stalls the whole job

From the building building assessment, a unit that cannot reach a useful grain depression runs all week without result.

Open windows can add moisture instead of removing it

From the building building assessment, on a humid day, outdoor air carries more water than the room does.

Helpful service information

What to know about dehumidification

From the building assessment, start with the short explanation. For sound structural recovery, open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

For sound structural recovery, air movers lower the vapor pressure at a wet surface, which lets water leave the material and enter the room air.

Read the explanation

Across the affected building area, drying is a two step handoff and dehumidification is step two. For sound structural recovery, air movers lower the vapor pressure at a wet surface, which lets water leave the material and enter the room air.

How the next step is decided

As materials are evaluated, relative humidity is a percentage of what the air could hold at its current temperature, so it changes when temperature changes even if nothing dried.

Read the explanation

As materials are evaluated, the numbers are simpler than they sound. As materials are evaluated, relative humidity is a percentage of what the air could hold at its current temperature, so it changes when temperature changes even if nothing dried.

What may change the work

As materials are evaluated, an Professional dehumidifier condenses moisture on a cold coil and works well in normal indoor temperatures, which covers most home losses.

Common questions

Questions about dehumidification

Why do I need dehumidifiers if the water was already extracted?

Across the affected building area, because of how much water is still in the building, and how much capacity it takes to catch it.

Can I just use my own dehumidifier from the hardware store?

From the building assessment, for a damp basement in summer, yes. For sound structural recovery, for a water loss, no, because home units are rated for a few pints per day in comfortable conditions and cannot handle the load.

What is an Professional dehumidifier?

Across the affected building area, lGR stands for low grain refrigerant. Across the affected building area, it is a refrigerant dehumidifier with an extra heat exchanger, which lets it keep pulling water out of air that is already fairly dry.

What is a specialized dehumidifier and when do you use one?

For sound structural recovery, a specialized dehumidifier passes air over silica gel, which absorbs moisture without needing a cold coil.

How many dehumidifiers does my house need?

From the building building assessment, it comes from the volume of the affected space in cubic feet and how wet the materials are.

What humidity should the room be during drying?

As materials are evaluated, for ordinary materials we generally hold the drying space between about 30 and 50 percent relative humidity.

What do the numbers on the meter actually mean?

Across the affected building area, relative humidity tells you how full the air is compared to what it could hold at that temperature.
