Expert Structural Drying Services

When taking care of water damage or structural drying why dry the whole room if it’s not necessary? As part of our repertoire, we use Target heat drying. This is used to specifically target only that affected area. By adding heat to that saturated area, we add energy to the surface and due to this it will dry a lot faster. We believe by targeting the energy to only the areas that are wet onsite, target heat drying is a lot more successful.

When a water restorer attends to dry an area, room, wall, concrete sub-floor, timber floor or a small area, most are all using the same drying methods. This is quite simply because most may not understand how to dry it using targeted heat drying. Either this or they may not be prepared to invest in the equipment. Generally, your standard water restorer will set up a dehumidifier and some carpet fans to blow across the areas onsite. Following this it’s generally regulation to return in a few days and hope that things have dried out adequately. Most water restorers are also not even inclined to check the structure or timber frame to monitor progression.

Why use our structural drying services?

Water can soak internally more than 20 centimetres into porous (hygroscopic) building materials like drywall construction, and even concrete supports, flooring & framework in an extremely short space of time.

This water ingress can also collect and hide in unexpected places after water damage or a flood These areas include the bottom sill plates of walls, cavities, under cabinets and doors. Of course there might even be several layers of different materials that are soaked. Nowadays property owners need to think about thoroughly drying the entire structure.

With Masonite floors, gyprock wall and medium density fibreboard skirting, it is advisable to use a professional moisture meter with probes that penetrate the skirting and take measurements beyond reach. Beyond belief, your most popular centrifugal air movers are not ideal for structural drying. We use the best fans for structural drying and these are called axial fans, The reason these are as effective as they are is because they push the air lower and further than a centrifugal air mover.

Water flows from a high concentration to a low concentration which is why it seemingly moves into undetected areas.
