SERVPRO Has a Proven Method for Setting up Dehumidifiers that Maximizes Efficiency

Air-movers, pumps, and water extractors are the most efficient equipment for getting rid of water in your home. However, dehumidifiers can often be equally essential. Understanding when and how to set up dehumidifiers to restore a wet property is vital for any trained restoration professional. One of the first considerations for using dehumidifiers is the nature of the environment. Dehumidifiers are most useful when the indoor environment has a lot of wet, porous materials. Porous materials could include carpets, carpet pads, plasterboard, and upholstery. In these situations, we may use as many as twenty dehumidifiers to dry a property correctly and prevent moisture damage. We can help your home with:

  • Property drying
  • Structural drying
  • Upholstery restoration

When conducting water damage restoration for your Paramus home, technicians first assess the power capabilities of dehumidification equipment. Dehumidifiers are measured by the number of cubic feet they can pass per minute (CFM) and how many gallons of water they remove over twenty-four hours under standard conditions. To understand how many dehumidifiers to use, technicians calculate the cubic feet of the affected area by using the following equation: length x width x height. In some circumstances, dehumidifiers can be used to draw moisture from hard surfaces or materials such as lumber, hardwood flooring, or concrete, although this method utilizes specialized equipment.

  • Dehumidifiers are largely used to balance the drying process and ensure that the environment is neither too dry nor too humid for fast evaporation. 
  • We can daisy-chain equipment to allow multiple units in one given space.
  • Smaller drying chambers may be created by sealing rooms, windows, or ducts.
