Does Commercial Water Removal Require Applied Structural Drying?

Extracting visible and hidden liquid water is the essential first step of water damage repairs and flood restoration. Diligent extraction is 1200 times more effective than drying techniques alone, accelerating water clean up. Partnering through extraction with the following drying techniques is critical to avoid or minimize secondary water damage such as progressive building material disintegration and mold damage:

• Air movement using axial fans and low profile air movers
• Increasing air temperature and reducing humidity with heaters as warm, dry air facilitates faster evaporation from saturated structural components and fixtures
• Dehumidification with evaporative and desiccant units to remove and capture the lingering moisture for proper disposal
