BCI Rentals offers commercial and industrial dehumidifier rental for building drying, damp basements and temporary humidity control. The Airrex ADH-8000R removes water from the air and includes a built-in condensate pump. Call (218) 947-3353 for a rate and availability, and tell us about the space and moisture problem.
This portable unit has an adjustable humidistat, two airflow settings and a pump for collected water. Its maximum moisture removal rating is 25.4 gallons per day. The nominal rating is 15.9 gallons per day, so the maximum figure should not be treated as a daily result on every job.

Room temperature, ongoing water entry, wet materials and open doors affect drying. Call to size your job and confirm operating conditions for the unit supplied.
Humidity can build up inside heated enclosures while drywall compound, plaster and finishes dry. Use controlled heat, air movement and dehumidification together. Direct-fired heaters release combustion moisture into their air stream, so heater choice also matters. Compare the options in our heater selection guide.
After standing water is removed and the water source is addressed, a dehumidifier can help remove moisture released by damp materials. Add fans for air movement. Sewage, electrical hazards and suspected contaminated materials need assessment before equipment is put to work.
For a humid enclosed space, dehumidification removes water from the air. If the main problem is heat, discuss spot cooling or larger temporary A/C. A dehumidifier releases heat into the room as it operates.
Have the room dimensions, approximate temperature, available power and drainage location ready when you call. Tell us whether the space has multiple rooms, whether wet materials remain, and whether water is still entering. Keep the drying area reasonably enclosed so the unit is working on that area rather than continually drawing in humid outdoor air.
Drying concrete for flooring installation and protecting fresh concrete during curing are different tasks. Follow the concrete, coating and flooring specifications for humidity, temperature and moisture testing.
There is no reliable room-size-only answer. The amount of wet material, temperature, ceiling height, room divisions and moisture entering the space all affect the load. Call with those details so we can discuss the equipment and airflow plan.
No. A fan moves air and supports evaporation from surfaces. A dehumidifier removes water vapor from the air. Pairing them can help a drying setup, with placement chosen for the layout and materials.
Not necessarily. The 25.4-gallon figure is a maximum rating under specified test conditions, while the nominal rating is 15.9 gallons per day. Water removal normally changes as the air and materials dry.
The ADH-8000R has a built-in pump for condensate. You still need a suitable drainage destination and correctly routed discharge hose. Confirm the setup and pump limits with BCI before use.
