Drying out a house after a burst pipe

2/2/2021 (Permalink)

Turn on one or more dehumidifiers to eliminate the water from the house. Dehumidifiers operate best in enclosed spaces, so keep windows closed when they're on. If the water is contained to a certain location, such as a bedroom or bathroom, set the dehumidifier inside and close the door. Remember to drain the water tank on a regular basis.

Use your HVAC system as a gigantic dehumidifier. Use the air conditioner to cool down the house. The air conditioner is designed to remove humidity from the air, therefore by chilling the house, it is simultaneously sucking the moisture out of the air. After the house has cooled, turn on the heat until it reaches 80 degrees. Warm air evaporates and contains more moisture than cold air.
