Step 4: Drying and Dehumidification
Our Water Damage Restoration Process
Once the excess water has been removed, the floors and walls may appear dry, but a quick inspection will reveal they are wet to the touch. Nearly all building materials, like wood, drywall, and some flooring materials, such as carpet, are porous and therefore retain water. This retained water can cause the materials to break down, warp, or cause mold damage.
Drying / Dehumidification
Our Professionals will use room measurements, temperature, and relative humidity to determine the optimal number of air movers and dehumidifiers to dry your home or business. We’ll carefully monitor the progress using moisture meters until the materials return to acceptable drying goals.
Monitor Floor and Walls
We check the moisture levels in all materials that are affected daily to monitor the drying process.
Drying Equipment
Industrial-grade dehumidifiers help prevent secondary water damage like swelling and warping of floors, walls, and furniture by removing the excess moisture from the air.
High-speed air movers create airflow across walls, carpets, pads, and furniture, which accelerates the evaporation of moisture causing items to dry more quickly.
