moisture removal
Eliminating trapped dampness
Moisture removal is the process of extracting water or dampness from something—air, food, materials, or spaces.
The term appears in contexts ranging from industrial dehumidification to food preservation: The dryer's moisture removal capacity determines how quickly clothes dry.
In construction and restoration, moisture removal prevents mold and structural damage.
