The Science of Dehumidification in Columbus, OH

Once water extraction is complete, the real battle against moisture begins with dehumidification. In Columbus, OH, where fluctuating weather can intensify moisture problems, managing humidity levels is key to preventing further damage. Our advanced water extraction and dehumidification process not only dries your home but also creates a healthier indoor environment by eliminating trapped moisture in materials you may not realize are affected.

Our Advanced Dehumidification Process

Using the science of psychrometry and advanced water extraction and dehumidification methods, we calculate your home’s exact drying needs based on its size, materials, and extent of damage. We set up controlled drying zones with specialized barriers to regulate temperature, humidity, and airflow precisely.

Our cutting-edge equipment includes:

  • Low Grain Refrigerant (LGR) Dehumidifiers: Ideal for extracting moisture in cooler conditions, where standard equipment often fails.
  • Desiccant Dehumidifiers: These machines use chemical processes to remove moisture from materials that are harder to dry, such as wood and concrete.

Throughout the process, our technicians monitor moisture levels in walls, flooring, and other affected areas using non-invasive meters. We fine-tune equipment placement and settings to achieve optimal drying curves. This ensures that drying is thorough without causing additional damage, such as cracking or warping from too-rapid drying.

By combining expert water extraction and dehumidification, we prevent mold growth, structural deterioration, and long-term water damage in your Columbus, OH property.

The Long-Term Impact of Professional Water Extraction and Dehumidification in Columbus, OH

Water damage extends far beyond the initial flooding event, making professional water extraction and dehumidification essential for homes in Columbus, OH. Our comprehensive services address immediate concerns while providing long-term protection against future issues.

Health Benefits of Proper Dehumidification

When moisture is left unchecked, it creates the ideal environment for mold, bacteria, and other pathogens. Mold can begin growing within 24-48 hours of water exposure, posing significant health risks to your family. Our thorough dehumidification process eliminates excess moisture and restores optimal humidity levels, creating an environment that protects your health and prevents microbial growth.

Improved Energy Efficiency

Excess moisture forces HVAC systems to work harder, increasing energy costs and reducing the lifespan of your equipment. As part of our water extraction and dehumidification process, we identify areas where moisture intrusion affects your home’s thermal performance. By addressing these issues, our team helps reduce utility costs and improve your home’s energy efficiency.

Turning Disaster Into Opportunity

Our services don’t just restore your home—they enhance it. By focusing on long-term solutions, we safeguard your home against future water damage while improving its overall functionality and energy efficiency.

However, flood damage, no matter the source of the water, is NOT covered by standard homeowners’ policies. Also, the water damage that results from a lack of maintenance is not covered on a standard homeowner’s insurance policy.

The PuroClean QUICKDRY SYSTEM™

Our PuroClean QuickDry System™ uses applied psychrometric science. It is a proven process that manages dehumidification and temperature to quicken drying and help ensure the best possible outcome. *We can save almost everything: drywall, wood, carpets, and most contents!

The system uses advanced restoration equipment:

  • High-Capacity Air Movers create a vortex, similar to the motion of a tornado. This method speeds up the drying process.
  • A Low-Grain Refrigerant Dehumidifier draws in cool, wet air and blows out warm, dry air.

Additionally, we measure and log the moisture content of materials, and monitor and log progress. That helps us know the actual drying time and ensure restoration to the appropriate dry standard.

The PuroClean QuickDry™ Guarantee — Back to Normal in Three Days or Fewer.* PuroClean will monitor and mitigate water damage to your property and in most cases have it back to normal in three days or fewer*. Don’t wait, call us immediately.

We provide a complete estimate, including photos, to the agent or adjuster within 24-48 hours.

*Certain extreme conditions may warrant additional drying time and/or the removal of carpet pad and structural components.
