Extraction
- Removing bulk water is the first step where standing water or saturated surfaces are present.
Drying guide
Structural Drying Explained
An overview of extraction, airflow, dehumidification, moisture checks and why drying time varies by material and conditions.
Air movement
- Air movers increase evaporation from wet materials when positioned appropriately.
Dehumidification
- Dehumidifiers remove moisture from the air so evaporated water does not remain in the building.
Moisture checks
- Drying decisions should be based on materials and measured conditions, not appearance alone.
