2/22/2021 (Permalink)
The restorative drying process is meant for restoration professionals and is designed to ensure that each component and variable is considered to achieve all drying goals.
Principle 1: Provide for the safety and health workers and occupants
Principle 2: Document and inspect the project
Principle 3: Mitigate further damage
Control the spread of contaminants
Control moisture intrusion
Principle 4: Clean and dry affected areas
Our team uses cleaning procedures whenever soils and debris must be removed to expedite the drying process. Restorative drying for professionals is used to control as many factors as possible to complete the most efficient drying process. Once enough water is extracted, evaporation is enhanced by:
- Lowering humidity
- Increasing airflow across wet surfaces
- Controlling temperature of air and surfaces
- Using outside air when possible
- Creating a drying chamber
Principle 5: Complete the restoration and repairs
