Dehumidification: The Most Important Part of Water-Damage
Recovery
Flood drying requires a number of critical steps to ensure an area
is entirely free of water, debris and harmful substances.
Dehumidification is one of the most important flood-drying steps
because it addresses an often invisible threat: the level of water in
the air.
Dehumidification helps the flood-remediation process overall and
prevents future problems such as mold and moisture buildup. While
some homeowners attempt to cut down the level of water saturation
after a flood by using regular household fans, professional services
can act on measurements of the actual relative humidity
level—providing correct and effective services.

Dehumidification Services
Even after removing the water from a major flood, humidity levels
in a given area are typically higher than normal. This contributes to
water damage and creates moist areas favorable to the growth of mold,
according to the EPA.
Dehumidification is necessary to make sure the flood-drying procedure
is effective.
The dehumidification process typically involves a series of speed
dryers and air movers placed in the area. This will encourage
evaporation and move wet air out of the room. High-end dehumidifiers
are often used to remedy catastrophic flooding as the level of
humidity is often too much for fans and dryers to get the job done.
Without proper dehumidification services, flood recovery is often
difficult at best. High levels of humidity can create problems for
damaged furniture, as well as plumbing and roofing. If damaged books,
photographs and documents are present, dehumidification is necessary
to keep levels of saturation low, according to the New
York Times.
