Wall & Structural Drying for Water Damage

When there has been a flood in your property the naked eye cannot tell from the surface but usually the concrete, timber floor or framing underneath the carpet and walls can also be wet. If this is not dried, mould growth can occur within 24 hours. Utilising the latest technologies in structural drying, New Life Restorations can cost effectively dry down your property quickly.

We can effectively dry down the following building components:

It is important for us to provide a moisture inspection first before conducting any structural drying. We need to confirm that we are covering all high risk moisture areas. Most moisture problems may not be visible to the naked eye, so it is important for us to use our moisture instruments to find these areas.

We serve a large range of clients in the insurance industry, construction Industry as well as home & building owners. Our structural drying reports are relevant and meaningful to the relevant parties.

To dry a building after a flood we need to consider:

  • The correct amount of air movers, dehumidifiers, ventilation equipment and heating systems to dry down concrete, erected construction materials and in sub floor / crawl space areas.
  • Regular site inspections and monitoring by delmhorst moisture meter
  • Understanding of wall design. Is there insulation inside? Is there water sitting in Metal framing
  • Understanding of drying science
  • Is there a correct vapour barriers installed?
  • Amount of layers of paint on wall can affect drying time
  • The type of sealer placed on concrete
  • The most cost effective way of drying inside the wall
  • Correct setup of Airflow and control of the humidity with constant monitoring is required
