Water Mitigation: The 4 Principles of Drying

 




When a water loss occurs, specific steps are taken during the mitigation process to make sure the affected space is totally dry.

Each step completes another phase of the extraction process and brings the affected property one step closer to returning to a pre-loss condition.

We call these phases the Four Principles of Drying:

WATER EXTRACTION: The Water Removal Phase

  • Removing water in its liquid state is a minimum of 500 times more efficient than skipping this step and going straight into using air movers and dehumidifiers.

  • Water extraction is different from water mitigation. once you avail of the water damage services from knowledgeable restoration company, you'll expect that the services involve both of those using different methods and techniques.

AIRFLOW: The Evaporation Phase

  • After removing the maximum amount water as possible while in its liquid state, the remaining moisture is evaporated with high velocity air movers.

  • Air movers are essential to supply rapid evaporation of moisture in wet structures. When drying with forced-air heating systems, the circulated hot air from your heater and air movers do the work of evaporating moisture within the structure being treated.

DEHUMIDIFICATION: The Balanced Evaporation Phase

  • As moisture is dried out, it doesn’t simply disappear; it evaporates and becomes water vapour within the air.

  • Without dehumidifiers to get rid of this moisture from the air, other absorbent materials within the room could take in the moisture and become damaged.

  • This might delay the drying process and cause mold growth.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL: The Temperature Maintenance Phase

  • Warm air between 70 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit is right , especially for the primary 36 to 48 hours of drying.

  • Cooler air slows evaporation, impeding the drying process.

  • Overly hot air above 90 degrees Fahrenheit also impedes the dehumidifiers’ effectiveness.
