Structural Drying

When you have an emergency situation where your house has been flooded and damaged, seeking professional help to extract water from your carpets, walls, floors, ceilings, documents and other belongings is a challenging task. This is why it becomes imperative to seek professional help from disaster restoration services who have the skills, equipment and experience to do the job. We are just a phone call away for all your structural drying needs caused by a pipe outburst or flood.

Structural Drying Process

Damage Assessment

The damage done by the flooding is assessed and a prompt action plan is prepared. To prevent further damage, controls are put in your property. We then hand out a cost estimate for your work followed by a general timeline within which you can make alternative arrangements for your stay, while we get to work.

Water Extraction

Once the approval is given by you, we begin the work by extracting the remaining water. Depending on the amount of water that is left, our technicians may use submersible pumps in addition to industrial strength, wet/dry vacuums to reduce the drying time. This prevents the building up of mold and secondary water damage. We will also clear out any damaged items to ensure that no further damage is done to them.

Drying

Our trained and skilled professionals will control the temperature and internal humidity levels to extract the remaining moisture from all your belongings. They use specialised high duty equipment, including industrial air movers and dehumidifiers, to remove water retained by building materials and other hard-to-access moisture. The moisture level is then carefully monitored using moisture meters until the damp materials return to acceptable levels to avoid warping, break down or further mold damage.

Cleaning & Sanitising

Some of the walls, floors, ceilings and other surfaces will need professional cleaning treatments. Other than cleaning your property, we also clean your belongings, like furniture, upholstery, clothing, and other personal items, damaged by the water. Flooding and water damage will also often require odor removal and deodorization treatments as well, since damp materials leave an unpleasant odor that makes the objects unfit for use.

The final and one of the most step in the process is the restoration of your home and your contents to the condition it was in, before the water damage was caused. The restoration may require small repairs, installation of a new dry-wall or laying down new carpet, or potentially major repairs such as the reconstruction of various areas or rooms at your property.
