Importance of Structural Drying
This type of drying is essential for restoring your property to its condition prior its pre-water damage condition. Without proper drying, the integrity of affected building materials is compromised. Moisture also produces water stains and odors, and serves as a breeding ground for toxic mold and bacteria – posing a huge health risk to your family and pets.
The Structural Drying Process
The process begins after a careful analysis that identifies all areas and structures affected by water damage. High tech infrared imaging equipment allows us to readily detect pre-treatment damage along ceilings, drywall, moldings, and flooring as well as behind cabinets and other concealed regions within the interior and exterior of your property.The same infrared imaging allows us to monitor the effectiveness of the drying process. Drying is accomplished through strategic use of high powered fans and commercial grade dehumidification equipment.
