Restoring balanced humidity levels after a water loss, or in spaces that struggle with excess moisture year-round.
Dehumidification pulls excess moisture out of the air, a step that's essential both for drying a property after water damage and for managing areas that struggle with humidity on a regular basis, like basements or crawlspaces. TotalRestore Solutions has offered dehumidification services throughout Fall River, WI for 15 years, whether it's one piece of a larger water damage project or a service on its own.
During an active water damage response, dehumidifiers and air movers work as a team. Air movers push moisture out of wet materials into the surrounding air through evaporation, and the dehumidifier is what actually pulls that moisture out of the space. Skip the dehumidifier and that moisture just lands somewhere else in the property instead of leaving it, which is why we never run one piece of equipment without the other.
Outside of a water damage scenario, persistent high humidity in a basement, crawlspace, or similar area can build into musty smells, condensation on surfaces, and conditions that eventually favor mold growth. For these situations, we evaluate the space to figure out the right equipment size and, where it applies, whether an underlying cause like poor ventilation or a moisture entry point also needs to be addressed.
Throughout the process, whether we're wrapping up a water damage job or tackling a standalone humidity issue, we track conditions with a hygrometer so progress is measured with real numbers instead of guesswork. In either case, the target is a normal humidity range, along with practical steps to help the space stay there afterward.
Dehumidifiers run in tandem with air movers so moisture is actually removed, not just relocated.
We handle standalone humidity concerns in basements and crawlspaces, not just active water losses.
We evaluate each space to match dehumidification capacity to the actual moisture level.
Hygrometer readings give us a clear measure of progress toward normal humidity.
Assess the space's size and the severity of the humidity issue.
Choose dehumidifiers scaled to the space and its moisture level.
Monitor humidity with a hygrometer while equipment runs over several days.
Wrap up once readings reach and hold within a normal range.
Not at all. It's also useful for ongoing high humidity in basements or crawlspaces that never had a specific water damage event.
Air movers help moisture evaporate out of wet materials and into the air, while dehumidifiers pull that moisture out of the space so it doesn't resettle somewhere else.
We take hygrometer readings throughout the process and compare them against the normal range expected for that type of space.
