Flooding incidents can take place without any notice, and leave your home in complete disarray. Such flooding will cause significant water damage, and necessitate professional water damage clean up. If there is a delay to begin flood clean up, it can lead to serious problems, such as structural damage, damage to your valuable belongings, and mold growth. The longer the delay, the more time water has to spread to new locations, and results in more damage. In addition, if there are porous materials, those will start decomposing by absorbing excess moisture. Here, we will offer you insights into how our team carries out structural drying, and prevents damage to various structural elements within your home. Here, in the following sections, we will provide you with insights into procedures and techniques, which we use to dry structural elements in your home.
Flood Clean Up and Structural Drying
Irrespective of whether it is curved drywall, hardwood flooring, foundation walls, attics, sub-floors or ceilings, we have the expertise, required license, and necessary specialized equipment to carry out the work in the most efficient manner.
Procedural Aspects of the Structural Drying Process
- Thorough assessment of damage, caused by flooding incidence, so that a proper plan of action can be devised.
- Excess water is extracted using advanced industrial equipment, to prevent damage to structural elements, and prevent other problems from surfacing, such as mold growth.
- Items are discarded when not possible to restore them. Such decisions facilitate the drying process, and results in faster completion of tasks, since these items do not become a bottleneck in the drying process.
- Equipment such as desiccant dehumidifiers and air movers are used to achieve structural drying, and restore your home to how it was before the flooding incident.
- Ideal temperature and relative humidity are maintained, to facilitate dehumidification and evaporation, so that the process moves in the right direction.
Structural Drying and Our Equipment
Our technicians make use of different equipment during structural drying, such as:
Industrial Blowers: These are an integral part of the drying process, which help our experts achieve faster results.
Desiccant Dehumidifiers: In case of serious water damage incidence, desiccant dehumidifiers prove to be very valuable.
Moisture Meters: Proper evaluation of the progress being made, during the structural drying process, becomes easier, with the use of moisture meters. Our team analyzes whether the procedures are moving in the right direction, with the help of these moisture meters.
Tasks Performed During Structural Drying
Proper Moisture Detection
Advanced equipment is used for the detection of moisture within structural elements of your home, such as building cavities and wall interiors. Such analysis helps our experts understand the extent of water damage, allowing us to take action accordingly.
Evaluation of Various Factors
Our team carries out a proper evaluation to determine the layout, as well as equipment that will be necessary to achieve effective drying. Our technicians also consider different psychometric factors during the evaluation process, which include the:
- Water and its thermodynamic properties.
- Saturation level of water in different structural elements.
- Room measurement, so that the right number of dehumidifiers and air movers can be installed.
- Analysis of air vapors helps evaluate moisture content, present in the air.
Extraction of Water
Prior to starting the drying process, our technicians ensure that excess moisture and water are extracted from your home. This task is accomplished using advanced equipment, and the process is expedited so that drying can be started as early as possible.
Additionally, before drying work is started, waterlogged things present in a room will be removed. This task will facilitate drying, and also help in the creation of desired airflow within a room, to achieve best results.
Effective Use of Dehumidifiers
As part of the dehumidification process, our experts decide upon the most ideal airflow pattern, suitable for any room. Moreover, drying equipment is strategically placed in the right locations, to ensure that the best possible results are achieved.
We understand that different structural elements respond differently to the drying process. It is possible that a specific drying strategy will be useful for certain structural elements, while the strategy will have a negative impact on other structural elements. As we have vast experience in water damage clean up tasks, our experts are aware of these problems. As such, before starting the drying process, our team thoroughly analyzes the situation, and then creates a plan of action, right for your home. If your home experienced water damage during any recent flooding incident, then you should immediately get in touch with us. Such immediate action will prevent further damage to your home.
