What Is Dehumidification & Why Is It Important?
Dehumidification is the process of reducing excess moisture in the air to create a safer and more comfortable living environment.
- Health and Comfort – High humidity levels can make the air feel warmer than it actually is, leading to discomfort. It can also exacerbate respiratory issues like asthma by promoting allergens such as mold and dust mites.
- Preventing Mold and Mildew Growth – Mold and mildew thrive in damp environments. Dehumidification helps prevent their growth, protecting both your health and your property from potential damage.
- Protecting Building Integrity and Contents – Excess moisture can weaken building materials, causing wood to warp, paint to peel, and metal to corrode. It can also damage personal belongings, including electronics, books, clothing, and musical instruments.
- Energy Efficiency – Lower humidity levels can make the air feel cooler, potentially reducing air conditioning use and lowering energy bills.
- Industrial and Commercial Applications – Many industries rely on dehumidification to maintain product quality during manufacturing and storage, such as in the food and pharmaceutical sectors.
Our Dehumidification Process
At Arizona Restoration Contractors, we follow a thorough process to ensure effective moisture removal and property restoration.
- Assessment and Planning – We evaluate the extent of humidity or water damage in the affected area using tools like moisture meters, thermal imaging cameras, and hygrometers. This allows us to determine the right dehumidification strategy and equipment placement.
- Water Removal – Before dehumidification begins, we remove any standing water or excessive moisture using pumps, vacuums, and water extraction tools.
- Dehumidification Setu p – We strategically place industrial-grade dehumidifiers within the affected area to maximize efficiency. These high-powered units are designed to handle large spaces and significant moisture levels.
- Active Dehumidification – Our dehumidifiers pull humid air in, remove moisture through condensation, and expel dry air back into the space, effectively reducing humidity levels.
- Monitoring and Adjustment – We continuously monitor humidity levels, adjusting equipment as needed to ensure effective drying. Once optimal conditions are reached, we remove the equipment and proceed with any necessary restoration work.

Water damage is categorized into three types by the IICRC, each requiring specific handling methods to prevent health risks and additional damage.
- Category 1 – Clean Water: Comes from a sanitary source such as broken water supply lines. Left untreated, it can degrade into more dangerous categories.
- Category 2 – Grey Water: This type contains contaminants and can cause illness if ingested. Common sources include washing machine or dishwasher discharges.
- Category 3 – Black Water: Highly contaminated water that poses severe health risks. It originates from sewage backups, natural floods, or stagnant water harboring bacteria.
