Our fire and smoke damage recovery team will connect with you within 24 hours.
The damages done by flame, smoke, and soot go beyond the immediate char and ash. There is often extensive water damage left behind by fire suppression efforts as well. This unwanted water intrusion—whether from sprinklers or firefighters’ hoses—can seep into every porous surface and crevice, laying the groundwork for potential secondary damage that is just as devastating as the fire itself. Water can undermine the integrity of structures, provoke mold growth, and deteriorate critical materials within the building.
At ATI Restoration, we understand that the full measure of fire damage control is not only in extinguishing the flames but also in promptly addressing the ensuing water damage. Our team, armed with cutting-edge dehumidification technology and unrivaled expertise, is available 24/7/365 to assess the damage and craft a personalized dehumidification plan. We will work swiftly to ensure every drop of water is accounted for and every square inch of your property is meticulously restored.

Our commitment to your business goes beyond a simple service offering—it’s a holistic approach that encompasses every aspect of commercial dehumidification.

At ATI Restoration, our dehumidification process for commercial properties sets the bar for industry standards. The initial phase of our operation begins with a thorough moisture assessment. This crucial step lays the foundation for an effective dehumidification strategy tailored to the specific conditions of your property.
Once we have established a comprehensive understanding of moisture levels, our team moves swiftly to implement water removal procedures. Employing high-capacity pumps and extractors, we eliminate standing water—a vital measure to prevent further damage and the onset of mold and mildew growth. Our thoroughness in this phase is key to ensuring that the subsequent steps in the dehumidification process are effective and enduring.
The cornerstone of our strategy lies in the use of industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers. These powerful machines are carefully placed to maximize airflow and evaporation throughout the affected areas. We create an environment where moisture is actively drawn out from porous materials, walls, and substructures, accelerating the drying process and mitigating the risk of warping, swelling, or structural compromise.
Our air quality management also addresses the pervasive nature of smoke damage. Specialized air scrubbers and filters are utilized to cleanse the atmosphere within your commercial space, removing particulate matter and soot and neutralizing the odorous signatures of fire and smoke. This step is not merely about aesthetics; it is a health imperative, ensuring that the environment is both visually restored and safe for occupants.
During the entire dehumidification process, our technicians diligently track humidity readings and calibrate the dehumidifiers appropriately to ensure optimal levels are consistently met. The objective is to establish and sustain an ambient condition where the relative humidity remains under 50%.

Dehumidification happens in phases that depend on the extent of the water damage in your building. First, if necessary, water extraction removes the bulk of the water from flooded areas. Once the water is removed from a facility, a custom plan is created by ATI to address the specific needs of the building. Various tools can be used depending on what is needed, such as industrial dehumidifiers, air movers, negative air machines, and more. Dehumidification is considered complete when test results show that the environment is completely dry according to the drying goals appropriate for the building and region.
ATI’s professional dehumidification services may include an evaluation of the building’s moisture using moisture meters. Once the team has evaluated moisture levels, a customized dehumidification plan is established. The dehumidification process may include various tools during multiple phases, including negative air machines, industrial dehumidifiers, air movers, fans, etc. As the building dries, the team measures moisture to ensure a completely dry environment. Following dehumidification, the team works with you in implementing best practices that prevent moisture in the future.
Dehumidification times vary but typically range from 1-5 days. More time may be needed depending on the level of damage, environmental humidity levels, and whether the building requires extensive water extraction. The timeline can also depend on the building’s location and the season.
Contact your disaster recovery firm immediately to begin water extraction. The longer water sits, the more damage it will cause and the more likely you’ll experience excess moisture in your building long-term.
Yes, but it will depend on your building’s geographic location and whether the humidity in your building has access to the outside. Evaporation is possible if you are in a warm, dry climate and your building’s indoor air is easily conditioned by outside air via windows, doors and other openings. This method tends to be significantly longer, and not a very reliable, drying process.
