Renting Equipment from CDT Companies

CDT Companies provides clients with a full suite of flood and water restoration services. In addition to providing clients with complete disaster restoration support, typically within 24 hours, CDT Companies offers equipment rental services to individuals and businesses capable of managing their own disaster restoration projects.

CDT manages thousands of drying units available for rent at facilities in Union City, Ohio, and Manchester, New Jersey, though the company is also capable of making deliveries directly to the job site. The organization’s commitment to using only state of the art drying equipment allows clients to effectively dry buildings of nearly any size, while larger or more complex job sites can be supported by CDT’s team of Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) technicians. The company maintains daily and weekly rental rates, as well as agreements for long term equipment rental.

In addition to rental services, individuals can visit www.cdtcompanies.com and review a wealth of information that can optimize the results of any drying or restoration project, including articles on the basics of full service restoration and how to effectively estimate a drying project.

Understanding the Value of a Commercial Desiccant Dehumidifier

A full-service disaster-restoration firm, CDT Companies responds to customers within 24 hours and offers a wide range of restoration services, including structural drying and water extraction. CDT Companies also assists clients in the structural-drying industry as a project-consulting resource and equipment supplier of products such as desiccant humidifiers.

Desiccant humidifiers are used by commercial restoration businesses to remove humidity from air. Whereas a compressor-based dehumidifier uses condensation to achieve this task, desiccant dehumidifiers employ a chemical called a desiccant. This highly effective material allows a commercial desiccant dehumidifier to dry already-dry air, materials that are very difficult to dry, and air that is close to the freezing point. 

The main difference between a commercial and a consumer-grade desiccant dehumidifier is that the former removes warm moist air from a building through ductwork, whereas the latter condenses it, transforming it into moisture which is collected in a bucket and then removed. Accordingly, commercial desiccant dehumidifiers operate well in both extremely cold and warm temperatures, as they do not emit water. 

For professionals in the restoration industry, it is a common best practice to use a commercial desiccant dehumidifier, as opposed to a consumer-grade alternative. Because of their high costs, most companies rent commercial-grade desiccant humidifiers rather than purchase them new.
