Dry Out Services: The Most Important Step in Water Damage Restoration
Properly drying out a room after flooding or water damage requires more than just airing it out or using a fan. Water has the ability to seep through porous materials and reach other structures or areas behind baseboards and drywall. In the event of a water damage emergency at your residence, it is advisable to have a certified water mitigation specialist visit the site to conduct moisture testing on surfaces and adjacent areas. This will help determine the actual scope and extent of the water damage.
Structural Dry-outs
When we are called to assess a water-damaged property, particularly in relation to an insurance claim, our objective, along with your insurance company, is to develop an action plan that restores your home to its pre-loss condition. In many cases, sections of drywall, baseboard, and sometimes flooring may need to be removed to facilitate a proper structural dry-out.
The studs and subfloor, typically concealed from sight, are particularly vulnerable to water damage and can significantly undermine the structural integrity of your home if left wet or damp for more than 24 hours. For safety reasons and to mitigate the risk of mold growth or further moisture-related issues, your insurance company will urge you to expedite the drying process.
A professional water damage restoration company possesses the necessary industrial-strength fans and dehumidifiers required for this task. Moreover, they can minimize the need for extensive removal of materials while ensuring sufficient airflow for thorough drying of your home’s structure.
