Over the course of a construction project, moisture and humidity create delays and product material issues. Old school solutions point to heat as the answer to control moisture. Others feel that fans placed inside, circulating air, will do the trick. However, these methods do nothing to actively remove moisture. Dehumidification is the key to controlling moisture, truly drying building materials, like wood and taping mud, while keeping the interior environment free of microbial growth.

Construction projects move fast and involve many different trades trying to work together. Also, there is a building occupant anxious to take possession of the property upon completion. Construction projects are faced with many concerns, some of which could be addressed during different phases of construction. Using a temporary climate control system (rental dehumidifiers or rental cooling) at various points during construction could help alleviate some common issues facing the construction industry.

Mold – it’s a word no property owner or plant manager ever wants to hear. Mold spores spread fast making an infestation difficult to contain and nearly impossible to eradicate completely. But a mold problem must be dealt with since exposure can cause allergic reactions, asthma, and respiratory illnesses. It can also adversely affect property value as no buyer or tenant wants to occupy a mold infested space. While eliminating all indoor mold is challenging, actions can be taken to manage and prevent it.

When it comes to construction drying, do you want dehumidification or heat?
