1. A method of providing moisture-reduction services at a target location, the method comprising:
obtaining, at a first time and via a first sensor of a first autonomous vehicle navigating inside of a first building at the target location, first sensor data about a first portion of a first room in the first building;
determining, at an onboard computing system for the first autonomous vehicle and based on the first sensor data, that a first moisture content level for the first portion is greater than a first threshold level; and
causing, via the onboard computing system, a dehumidification device installed on the first autonomous vehicle to dispense a first application of desiccant beads near the first portion.
