APPLIED STRUCTURAL DRYING
Structural drying requires prompt action and proper usage of specialized equipment. A properly dried structure is a healthy structure; improper drying efforts can result in secondary damage such as water staining, odour, mould growth – and all of its associated health risks and compromised structural integrity.
        
We provide 24 hour emergency service and use the latest technology, equipment and training to ensure correct drying procedures. The first step in any structural drying process is removing any standing water. Removal of water in the liquid state is 500 times more efficient than changing liquid to vapour with air movers and removing the vapour with dehumidification. After as much water as possible has been removed physically the remaining water must be evaporated using high-velocity air. The increased airflow caused by the installation of air movers evaporates the water from the wet structural materials. Dehumidifiers are used to balance evaporation. In other words, the moisture being put into the air by the air movers has to be removed from the air or secondary damage will occur. Without dehumidifiers hygroscopic materials would absorb moisture out of the air and become damaged, drying would be delayed and mould growth could occur.
     
By utilizing the new low grain refrigerant dehumidifiers we can remove much more moisture from the affected area than ever before. Maintaining proper temperature is critical in drying a structure quickly. Warm air holds more moisture than cool air; therefore warm air will increase the rate of evaporation. However there are certain variables to consider. First, refrigerant dehumidifiers are most effective between 70 – 90 degrees. Second, the equipment itself generates heat that could easily accelerate temperatures to above 90 degrees. Usually within the first 24 to 48 hours, because of the cooling effect of moisture evaporating from materials, temperatures are easily maintained. We carry out on site moisture checks as often as is necessary to monitor the progress of the drying of your property.
