Drying a large commercial space may require special equipment. SERVPRO has the right equipment no matter what size of job.  

When your commercial business suffers a major water loss with a particularly large affected area, a desiccant may be the best course of drying action.  SERVPRO of Spencer & Iowa Great Lakes is proud to have a trailer mounted desiccant unit on hand for potential large loss situations.  Desiccants operate differently then dehumidifiers and operate to a lower temperature as well. 

The first step in any mitigation process is to extract the standing water. After the extraction process is completed, the next step is to dry the structure.  If the affected area covers multiple floors or a particularly large area, the desiccant may be the best option to facilitate the drying process.  A desiccant will run plastic tubing/ducting throughout the structure to help bring in the saturated air, the moisture can then be exhausted outside. Our desiccant has the ability to dry up to 40,000 sqft and remove up to 400-500 gallons of water per day.  This helps reduce the amount of time spent drying the structure and allowing your business to get back "Like it never even happened."
