Desiccant Dehumidification Options Available in El Segundo
Construction Drying Services
Readings on slabs and framing show when materials are dry enough for the next stage of work.
Emergency Dehumidification
Equipment is sized to the space on the first visit and adjusted each day based on readings.
Flood Drying Services
Floodwater is treated as contaminated, so soaked porous materials are removed and surfaces cleaned before drying starts.
