Commercial dehumidifiers play an important role in a home that has experienced water damage. They help remove large amounts of moisture from the affected area in a short period of time. Many times, I see homeowners using residential small dehumidifiers to try and dry out an area with large amounts of water damage. Residential units cannot remove large amounts of the moisture trapped in the trim, drywall, framing, and sill plates in a short period of time. They work best for removing small amounts of moisture that reside in the air in basements during the summer months. NOT WATER DAMAGE!
This is why it is important to call a professional when you are dealing with a large amount of water from a flood, bad weather, or a sump pump failure. They can remove large amounts of water in a short period of time depending on the severity of the damage. Also, the longer water sits in the affected area the more chance you have for secondary damage and mold growth. This is why BuckCreek Restoration and Home Solutions is ready to serve you if you are experiencing any type of water damage in your home or business.
