New Desiccant Dehumidifier

With every water loss, it is our goal to begin the extraction process as quickly as possible so we can begin drying the structure and minimizing the subsequent damage. This could mean saving the homeowner and insurance company thousands of dollars when we are able to dry and save hardwood floors instead of having to replace them. With the addition of our new desiccant, we are further able to save the business owner and insurance company money, this time with the reduction of drying equipment costs.
Back in March after the downtown Raleigh apartment fire damaged the Edenton Street United Methodist Church’s annex, we rented a large desiccant to aid in drying commercial water loss. The desiccant rental replaced the need for 64 LGR dehumidifiers. This alone saved between $5,300-$11,500 in drying equipment in addition to reducing the set up time that would have been needed for the 64 dehumidifiers. This allowed the drying to start quicker and resulted in saving all the floor coverings that were affected in the two story commercial building which included a gymnasium floor.
Last week, we were able to use our desiccant dehumidifier to dry a library at a local university. We have great vendors that we use when we need additional equipment rental, but the fact that we were able to pull our own trailer with our own vehicles and not have to wait for equipment delivery allowed us to be able to start and end the drying of the building quicker.
