Drying Out From Winter Weather - Use A Dehumidifier

It's no secret that La Nina seasons bring plenty of rain, sleet, and snow to the Pacific Northwest. So far this winter, everyone has seen plenty of the above - with some places in British Columbia and Washington suffering from extreme flooding events. Throughout all of this wet weather, the risks of water damage are greater than ever. 

If water has found a way into your home, it is vital to clear it as soon as possible. Remove any wet items that you can, physically dry water where possible, then use a dehumidifier to take care of any water that can't be easily reached (underneath carpeting, in wood floors, wet wood, etc...)

Dehumidifiers remove humidity from the ambient air in an enclosed space. They accomplish this by forcing large quantities of air over cooled/refrigerated coils, which then collect condensation (think of your car windshield after a chilly night), then pumping that collected condensed water out of the enclosed space - thereby removing water from the ambient air. 

Dehumidifiers are extremely easy to use, all one needs to do is plug the machine in, run the drainage hose out of the home or into a drain, and let the Dehumidifier work. Our rental Dehumidifiers, the LGR 7000, can remove up to 29 gallons of liquid per day from an enclosed home - so they work quickly!
