Solutions for Mitigating Dry Air in Your Home
Dry Air Mitigation FAQ
What is water mitigation?
Water mitigation is the process of stopping the immediate flow of water, assessing the type of mitigation efforts needed, extracting the water and drying out the property. Assessing the level and type of water damage, whether clear, gray or black water Extracting water with pumps and commercial-grade wet/dry vacuums
What is water mitigation & water damage restoration?
Keeping residents dry is one of the basic functions of a home. But sometimes, unwanted water makes its way into the living space. Water mitigation and water damage restoration are two key methods of controlling and fixing damage from a water event such as major leaks or flooding. Both methods work in conjunction with each other.
What are aggressive drying methods?
Aggressive or “in place” drying methods involve leaving wet items in the structure and drying them in place using warm, dry, direct airflow. Aggressive methods are used when contamination and damage are not concerns, and when it is cost-effective to dry an item instead of replacing it.
Does a drying chamber reduce airspace?
If you can reduce the area, the effectiveness of your drying effort will be much greater. As a general rule of thumb, if a chamber will reduce airspace by 50%, the concentration of your efforts can double the energy output. More drying chambers require more logistics.
Are drying chambers a good option for water damage restoration?
When it comes to water damage restoration, it’s unfortunate that one of the best techniques in the industry is also one of the most underused. No matter whether water damage has affected walls, flooring, or other structural assets, there’s a powerful mitigation method that delivers rapid results: drying chambers.
What are disruptive drying methods?
Disruptive drying methods involve removing wet items, injecting air to speed up drying, or perforating surfaces to allow water to evaporate. Disruptive methods are used when contamination, damage, cost, or customer concerns require removal or manipulation of the affected material.
