Diamond Dehumidification provides refrigerant based dehumidification equipment, heaters and blowers to facilitate the drying of buildings or spaces from catastrophic moisture damage, such as severe weather, water line breaks or flooding.

At Diamond, we specialize in “air” in order to reduce the threat of mold and mildew being trapped in to the building repairs, our equipment will help you remove the moisture that's trapped in the structures floors, ceilings and walls.  During extensive repair work, clean dry dehumidified air is required to restore the building to its original condition.  We will work with qualified restoration contractors to provide the equipment needed to perform this drying.

The concept of moisture removal by use of dehumidification and heating equipment is to introduce as much ambient air into the catastrophe area as possible at the lowest possible relative humidity.  This will enable the introduced air to act as a “sponge” to remove the water from the floor, walls, and all interior spaces.  The “treated” air is directed into the building by use of flexible duct connected to the existing HVAC duct (assuming it is clean and usable) or placed within the damaged area itself.

The air flow is directed to the most severely damaged (wetted) areas where it picks up moisture and is exhausted from the building – thus removing the destructive water from the environment.  The air flow is continuously redirected as areas are deemed dry. Moisture can be detected in walls and other materials through the use of conductivity meters that measure the amount of moisture present.  If there is moisture in the substrate, it will complete an electrical circuit within the instrument.  If no water is present, the circuit is not completed and low conductivity will be shown.

The time required to complete a project depends upon the amount of moisture damage, its location, ambient conditions the ability of the effected material to retain water.  Time is of the essence in the drying operation, mildew and other microorganisms begin to grow immediately and, of course, water facilitates this growth.  Therefore, to minimize the amount of disinfecting and cleaning required, the drying should be a high priority in the sequence of repair operations.
