The Advantages of Specialty Drying after Water Damage

Water Damage Cleanup can be very expensive and difficult to do, if not done properly. The repairs can amount to more cost than the mitigation if specialty drying is not administrated. Water Damage Companies sometimes use this technique to dry structures more effectively with a quicker turn over time. Flood Damage Restoration sometimes cannot use all the specialty drying techniques because quite often just like Sewage Cleanup contents and structural materials must be removed due to contamination. When items are contaminated and cannot be cleaned they must be removed. These items are often porous materials like sheetrock or insulation. Wood materials such as paneling will warp with water damage and would be recommended to be replaced. When materials do not come in contact with contaminated water damage baseboard is often removed, holes are inserted beneath the baseboard line in the drywall or paneling to allow wall ventilation. Then air movers and dehumidifiers are set up for the next three days in most cases to dry the structure and bring down the high humidity levels. As the humidity levels decrease the temperature level will usually increase due to the heat put out by the dehumidifiers.

If water damage exceeds about an inch and a half the restoration company will evaluate if there is insulation behind the walls and produce an alternate way of mitigation for the loss. Occasionally when water levels are inches or feet high the necessary actions include removing sheetrock, paneling, and insulation to dry a property correctly. If ceilings are damaged in a water loss quite often the ceiling is removed for the purpose of drying the framing above the ceiling to inhibit any mold growth. Often in the ceilings is also insulation that is removed in order to dry the structure. Without proper mitigation mold is inevitable and then so are the cost. As soon as you have a water loss contact a professional restoration company that is IICRC certified to handle your loss. You have the legal right to use the company of your choice and don't be fooled into using a company that the insurance company wants to push on you. Most all restoration companies will often work directly with your insurance company, off the insurance company price list. A good restoration company will let you know the procedure that will need to take place and when they believe it will be complete. They will also show your first-hand how specialty drying can and does make a big difference.
