Using Dehumidifiers in Water Damage Restoration  

Dehumidifiers are crucial equipment in water damage restoration, pulling excess moisture from the air to prevent your home from further damage. At SERVPRO, we rely on three main types of dehumidifiers, each with its strengths:

• Refrigerant dehumidifiers: SERVPRO techs use these for typical water damage in moderate conditions. They work by cooling the air to condense and collect moisture, making them perfect for drying walls, carpets, and furniture. They’re most effective when your home has high humidity and temperatures above 50°F.
• Low-grain refrigerant (LGR) dehumidifiers: We use these dehumidifiers when drying dense materials like hardwood floors or concrete in large-scale restoration projects. They pre-cool the air before it even hits the coils, making them efficient in cooler conditions.

• Desiccant dehumidifiers: We use desiccant dehumidifiers if your water-damaged home has low humidity and temperature. Instead of condensation, they use a chemical desiccant, like silica gel, to absorb moisture. SERVPRO techs use these to dry challenging spaces like basements, crawlspaces, or industrial areas.

Why Choosing the Right Dehumidifier Matters? 

Using the right dehumidifier isn’t just about drying faster—it’s about protecting your property for the long haul. The wrong equipment can leave hidden moisture behind, leading to mold, warping, or structural damage. The improper pace of drying can warp hardwood floor planks.  SERVPRO, we assess every situation to match the best tools to the job, ensuring thorough, effective restoration you can count on.
