Dehumidifiers Used in Water Damage Restoration
At Vivid Water Damage & Restoration, we use advanced commercial-grade dehumidifiers to remove excess moisture from your property after water damage. These powerful machines are essential for drying structures quickly and preventing mold growth.
We deploy dehumidifiers in every job throughout Salt Lake City and surrounding areas — helping homeowners and businesses recover faster and more safely.
What Does a Dehumidifier Do in Water Damage Restoration?
Dehumidifiers extract moisture from the air after water damage. While air movers speed up evaporation by pushing air over wet surfaces, dehumidifiers pull that moisture from the air and collect it or expel it through drainage systems.
Types of Dehumidifiers We Use
- LGR (Low Grain Refrigerant) Dehumidifiers: Most common in water damage jobs. They remove large volumes of moisture efficiently and perform well even in cool environments.
- Desiccant Dehumidifiers: Used for complex or large-scale drying, especially in colder climates or commercial settings.
Why Dehumidifiers Are Essential
- Reduce drying time dramatically
- Help prevent mold and mildew
- Protect wood flooring, drywall, framing, and insulation
- Improve indoor air quality during restoration
How We Use Dehumidifiers in Our Process
- Moisture Mapping: We detect and measure water levels using thermal cameras and meters.
- Equipment Placement: We calculate the right number and type of dehumidifiers for your property based on square footage and saturation.
- Ongoing Monitoring: We log moisture levels daily and adjust placement or airflow until all structures are dry.
Common Areas That Require Dehumidifiers
- Flooded basements or crawl spaces
- Hardwood floors and subfloors
- Drywall, ceilings, and insulation
- Commercial buildings with large square footage
