Signs to keep an eye out for

When to call us for dehumidification

Before we get to work, 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

Before we get to work, condensation forms when humid air touches a surface at or below its dew point. Once we are on the job site, in a drying space it tells you the air is carrying more water than the equipment is removing.

The room feels muggy even though the floor is dry

To straighten this out, 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

In plain words, small units are rated for a few pints per day at comfortable conditions.

Paper, cardboard and labels go limp in nearby rooms

Before we get to work, paper responds to humidity faster than almost anything else in a building.

A musty smell that is strongest in closets and cabinets

Before we get to work, closed spaces have the least air exchange and the highest relative humidity. In plain words, that is where a damp building starts to smell first.

White powdery bloom on block or concrete

In plain words, moisture moving through masonry carries minerals to the surface and leaves them behind.

What happens

How we take on dehumidification

Our hands-on restoration 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

To straighten this out, we read the area that got wet, an unaffected area and outside the building. In plain words, those temperature and humidity readings let us know what we are fighting before any unit is placed.

A moisture load and sizing calculation

To straighten this out, dehumidifier sizing comes from the cubic feet of the space and how wet and dense the materials are.

Professional dehumidifiers placed for airflow

To straighten this out, 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

Before we get to work, a specialized dehumidifier uses silica gel to pull air far drier than a refrigerant dehumidifier can.

A closed drying system established

In plain words, windows and exterior doors stay shut so the equipment controls a known volume of air.

Continuous drainage set up

Once we are on the job site, every unit is run to a drain, a sink or a condensate pump.

What to expect

What to expect from our hands-on restoration team

Here is how we as a rule handle dehumidification near Maine.

1
We ask about the space, not just the spill

Before we get to work, room sizes, ceiling height, what kind of floors and walls, and how the building is heated or cooled.
Your call
2
Readings before equipment

Once we are on the job site, a technician takes temperature and humidity in the wet area, in an unaffected room and outdoors.
On arrival
3
Sizing math and placement

Once we are on the job site, 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

To straighten this out, windows and exterior doors are shut, interior doors are set, and drainage is run.
Day 1
5
Grain depression verified before we leave

Before we get to work, 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

Before we get to work, we log the numbers daily and compare them to the day before.
Day 2
7
The load drops and machines come out

Once we are on the job site, 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

We spell out the recommended work and price before you approve the job. These examples show what may change the price breakdown.

Common situation	What the estimate may include	Typical range
Professional dehumidifier, per unit per day	National price breakdown. One unit typically serves a wet room, and larger areas need a few.	$70 to $110
Specialized dehumidifier, per day	National price breakdown for smaller portable and towable units. Trailer mounted systems on large losses cost more.	$200 to $500
Typical home dehumidification, two units for four days	National price breakdown including placement, drainage and daily readings. Air movers and extraction are separate.	$700 to $1,600
Whole floor or open plan dehumidification, four to six days	National price breakdown. 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	National price breakdown covering the desiccant unit, ducting and supporting refrigerant equipment.	$600 to $1,500
Electricity per dehumidifier per day	National price breakdown depending on local rates and unit size. Air movers add a smaller amount each.	$2 to $7

Room volume in cubic feet
To straighten this out, dehumidifier sizing follows air volume, not floor area. In plain words, tall ceilings, open stairwells and lofts add load to the same footprint.
How wet and how dense the materials are
Once we are on the job site, carpet and drywall give up water quickly and create a heavy early load.
Refrigerant versus desiccant equipment
To straighten this out, an Professional dehumidifier covers most homes at a moderate day rate.
Electrical capacity in the building
In plain words, each unit needs its own circuit headroom. In plain words, older panels sometimes limit how much equipment can run, which stretches the schedule.
Outdoor conditions and season
Before we get to work, humid outdoor air raises the load every time a door opens.
Drainage and setup complexity
To straighten this out, a nearby sink makes drainage simple. To straighten this out, 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

Once we are on the job site, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

Fans without dehumidifiers just move the water

In plain words, air movers pull moisture out of your materials and hand it to the air.

Above 60 percent humidity, growth gets easy

In plain words, damp materials in humid air can support mold within 24 to 48 hours.

Undersized equipment stalls the whole job

In plain words, a unit that cannot reach a useful grain depression runs all week without result.

Open windows can add moisture instead of removing it

In plain words, on a humid day, outdoor air carries more water than the room does.

Helpful service information

What to know about dehumidification

In plain words, start with the short explanation. Once we are on the job site, open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

Once we are on the job site, air movers lower the vapor pressure at a wet surface, which lets water leave the material and enter the room air.

Read the explanation

To straighten this out, drying is a two step handoff and dehumidification is step two. Once we are on the job site, 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

Before we get to work, 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

Before we get to work, the numbers are simpler than they sound. Before we get to work, 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

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?

To straighten this out, due to 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?

In plain words, for a damp basement in summer, yes. In plain words, for a water loss, no, since home units are rated for a few pints per day in comfortable conditions and cannot handle the load.

What is an Professional dehumidifier?

To straighten this out, lGR stands for low grain refrigerant. To straighten this out, 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?

Once we are on the job site, a specialized dehumidifier passes air over silica gel, which absorbs moisture without needing a cold coil.

How many dehumidifiers does my house need?

In plain words, 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?

In plain words, for ordinary materials we for the most part hold the drying space between about 30 and 50 percent relative humidity.

What do the numbers on the meter actually mean?

To straighten this out, relative humidity tells you how full the air is compared to what it could hold at that temperature.
