HOUSTON — In the aftermath of Tropical Storm Allison, many downtown Houston buildings needed to “dry out.” The city turned to liquid desiccant dehumidification technology. The facilities used a process developed by DryKor for emergency recovery.
This came in handy, since there was extensive damage to sheetrock in buildings such as the Houston City Hall. The challenge, after removing damaged office supplies and equipment (which were under six feet of water) was to dehumidify the space and save as many of the building materials as possible.
