Desiccant Dehumidification Options Available in Annex

Flood Drying Services

Flood drying pairs desiccant units with air movers aimed at wet materials, with readings taken every day until the structure is dry.

Basement Dehumidification

Cool basements are where desiccant units often help most, since they keep removing moisture when the air temperature is low.

Water Damage Dehumidification

Dehumidification runs alongside air movers, and readings are taken daily until every wet material is back to normal.

Crawl Space Drying

Water is removed from the crawl space first, then desiccant drying brings humidity down so the framing can dry.

Construction Drying Services

Readings on slabs and framing show when materials are dry enough for the next stage of work.

When to Consider Desiccant Dehumidification in Annex

Warped Wood Floors or Trim

Wood floors or trim that cup or warp after a leak are still taking on moisture.

Peeling Paint or Wallpaper

Paint or wallpaper that peels after a leak has moisture behind it that has not dried.

Spongy Drywall or Soft Spots

Drywall that feels soft or spongy has absorbed water and may need removal if it does not dry.

Wet Insulation in Attics or Walls

Insulation that is wet in attics or walls holds water against framing and slows drying.

How Desiccant Dehumidification Works in Annex

Step 1: Moisture Mapping

Readings across walls, floors and framing show exactly where moisture remains in the building.

Step 2: Equipment Placement

Dehumidifiers and air movers are placed where the moisture readings are highest.

Step 3: Continuous Moisture Extraction

Drying runs until the wettest areas match the rest of the building.

Step 4: Confirmation and Reporting

A report shows the starting and final moisture readings for each area that was dried.

Typical Moisture Intrusions and Desiccant Dehumidification in Annex

Appliance Malfunctions and Overflows

Washers, dishwashers and water heaters that leak leave wet floors, cabinets and walls.

Foundation Cracks and Seepage

Foundation cracks let groundwater seep into lower levels, keeping walls and floors damp.

Poor Ventilation in Enclosed Areas

Closed, poorly ventilated spaces trap moisture and dry very slowly after water damage.

Roof Leaks From Damaged Shingles

Roof leaks from damaged shingles soak attic insulation, roof decking and the ceilings below.

Residential and Commercial Desiccant Dehumidification in Annex

Residential Desiccant Dehumidification

In homes, desiccant drying is most often used in crawl spaces and cool lower levels after leaks or floods. Standard units are used in warm rooms where they work well.

Commercial Desiccant Dehumidification

In commercial buildings, high-capacity desiccant units can dry large floors and high-ceiling spaces after sprinkler leaks or floods, with drying planned around business hours.
