The Role of Dehumidifiers in Water Damage Restoration

Dehumidifiers make water damage restoration easier - while also minimizing the odds of mold growth!

Water damage can snowball into a much bigger issue if not handled quickly. That’s why people often resort to calling a professional restoration company to handle the damage. A common tool they bring with them is a dehumidifier. We’ll go over their use during this process below:

They Eliminate Excess Moisture

Water damage causes moisture to get trapped in walls, floors, and furniture. So, besides removing excess moisture from the air, dehumidifiers also keep these surfaces moisture-free.

They Prevent Structural Damage

When water seeps into deep corners of your home, it weakens the wood, drywall, and other building materials. In the end, this greatly affects the structural integrity of your home. Using a dehumidifier during this process helps prevent these problems. 

They Prevent Mold Growth

Mold growth is a natural consequence of damp environments. Dehumidifiers help to keep a dry environment to prevent mold from multiplying. 

They Accelerate Recovery

The faster you handle water damage, the better it is for your property. Dehumidifiers make that possible, which reduces the time required for repairs.
