In its simplest terms, Applied Structural Drying is the process wherein restoration companies utilize a strategy, which saves time, money, and resources when it comes to drying a given space. Before structural drying, most afflicted areas were stripped off from floor to ceiling in order to remove all affected areas. It is time-consuming because it takes time to remove all the damaged materials in your home and then replace them.
Why is it important to remove excess water, you ask? Water that has not been thoroughly removed from your floors, walls, and contents can further damage them. It promotes wood rotting, weakens the structural integrity of your space, and creates perfect places for mold to manifest.
Given the importance of removing the water from your home, it is in your best interest that restoration companies do what they must to protect your home from secondary water damages. With structural drying, the process of drying your home will be faster and cheaper than traditional methods.
OC Restoration Services follow a set of principles when they are facing a structural drying project:
- They must actively extract the water with special tools
- Use air movers to evaporate moisture
- Dehumidify the air to prevent secondary damages (e.g. wood rotting and mold)
- Maintain the ideal temperature for evaporation and dehumidification
- They must understand the complexities of construction and how to find and remove water that has migrated into these areas without performing demolition.
Because of today’s technology, we can now eliminate water without the need to remove your walls or your floors. We use hi-tech equipment, like dehumidifiers and air movers, to dry the space, use scientifically proven methods that help quicken the drying process and utilize techniques that use less manipulation of contents.
