Eliminate Water Damage with Professional Structural Drying

The health of the structure of your home or office building is important to its core integrity. Your roofing, walls, and flooring are three of the more important parts of the structure of your home or office space that must remain in good shape.

Water damages can wreak havoc on your home. You might not think that you need a professional water restoration company after you have experienced water damage in your home from a flood or other occurrence. Just take up the carpet and put up a few fans, and you’ll have your home back pretty quickly, right? Actually, you could be putting your home in more danger by not having the professionals come in to perform structural drying services. Not properly addressing the water can lead to structural issues and the potential for mould growth.

Emptying the whole house, tearing out carpets and dismantling structure in a random search for water is not a proper mitigation strategy. Structural Drying in place uses equipment and techniques to accurately detect and dry moisture wherever it might have spread. This enables water restoration professionals to target particular areas for drying and mould treatment, without expending time and effort on areas unaffected by water.

Structural drying is just one component of an entire process that is significant from beginning to end. First, you need to get rid of any standing water and stop whatever source is supplying that water. Then, you need to get rid of anything that has been too damaged to save. Depending on the scale of the damage, that can mean a major disposal. Finally, you will need to get serious about structural drying, possibly mould remediation, and odour neutralisation.

The right time to get started with structural drying is the minute the standing water is gone. The longer building materials remain moist, the more extensive the water damage will become and almost immediately after a flood mould can begin to grow and spread. It is a blunder to wait weeks, days, or even hours to get started with structural drying process.

There are no household solutions for structural drying. Instead, you will need to bring in an expert that will firstly identify the potential for water to damage the structure, and then develop a solution to excess water that can be implemented rapidly, as it doesn’t take long at all for mould to start growing, or water to start compromising the integrity of the structure.

A professional water damage restoration company has the right tools and expertise to get your home dry quicker than you would be able to do on your own. Also, a professional is aware of what methodologies will be best for your home. For example, the placement of fans can make a difference in air movement to help in the drying process. Combining the use of air movement, dehumidification, and extraction can help you restore your home to its original state.

Using equipment such as blowers and dehumidifiers, as well as the natural airflow and ventilation that the area allows, a professional can achieve Structural Drying in almost all cases.

So, maintain structural integrity of your home or office building with the right Structural Drying process.
