The Real Truth Behind Successful Water Damage Remediation Success in Seminole

Regardless of the extent of the water damage in your home, team SERVPRO is here to dry out your property.

Dehumidifiers We Use to Dry Out Seminole Homes

Moisture removal is a vital service necessary after even smaller water loss incidents that affect Seminole homes. Choosing among the numerous options available to our professionals involves initial readings collected during the scoping of the project by our crew chief and project manager. With sophisticated moisture detection tools and meters, we can identify how widespread the concerns are and the ideal equipment to dry out these materials.

While we might have varying sizes of each, water damage to Seminole homes can get addressed using three primary types of dehumidifiers: refrigerants, low grain refrigerants, and desiccants. Choosing among these options relates exclusively to the given circumstances, including the position of the damage, the temperature of the affected area, the severity of the moisture saturation, and the expected humidity content level when the job completes.

Refrigerant Dehumidifiers 

These are among the most common selections by our SERVPRO team, as they are the most versatile for the average water loss situation and conditions. Much like air conditioners, these units work on drawing in air and bringing it across evaporator coils to chill it to twenty or thirty degrees under the dew point temperature. Condensation on these coils gets collected in the unit, and drier air gets discharged from the machine.

Low-Grain Refrigerant Dehumidifiers 

One of the primary differences between the average refrigerant units and those deemed low grain is a pre-cooling component that allows the low grain refrigerant (LGR) unit to work effectively to a lower humidity ratio. Ultimately, when used in the right conditions, LGR devices can aid in more efficient drying.

Desiccants

Desiccants are unique to dehumidification, as they pull moist air in and pass it over a water-attracting substance that can separate the water molecules from the air and exhaust a heated blast of drier air. These are an ideal way to thoroughly reduce present moisture, and is the only unit that can work when the damaged area’s temperature is 60 degrees or less.

Choosing the right dehumidification equipment is vital to efficient drying and recovery. Let our SERVPRO of Seminole & Central Gulf Beaches help however you need with our advanced tools and equipment. Give us a call today at (727) 391-6212.
