The Advanced Drying Techniques Used by Restoration Professionals
When flooding strikes, quick action is critical. The longer water sits, the more damage it causes. Today’s restoration professionals use powerful, advanced drying methods to save homes and businesses with minimal disruption—something that wasn’t possible with older tools and techniques.
Fast, Efficient Water Removal
Modern extraction equipment removes standing water rapidly—even from beneath carpets and flooring. Restoration teams can now extract moisture directly from pads without removing them entirely.
High-Tech Dehumidification
LGR (Low-Grain Refrigerant) dehumidifiers can reduce humidity to as low as 10%, removing up to 16 gallons of moisture from the air daily. That’s a major upgrade from older models, which only reached 40% and removed about 5 gallons.
Speed Matters
With today’s tools, full drying can be achieved in just 24–48 hours, compared to the 4+ days older systems required. This speed reduces downtime and protects structural materials from further damage.
Mold and Health Risk Reduction
Faster drying significantly lowers the risk of mold and fungal growth, keeping your indoor air healthier and avoiding long-term complications.
Saving Walls Without Tearing Them Down
Intra-wall drying systems allow technicians to dry inside walls without tearing out drywall. By forcing dry air into wall cavities through small drilled holes, drying times drop dramatically—and your walls stay intact.
Desiccant Drying for Deep Moisture
Desiccants like silica gel absorb moisture from the air while pumping out warm, ultra-dry air. These systems are perfect for tough-to-dry materials and large, humid spaces.
Protecting Materials from Permanent Damage
Advanced techniques help prevent the irreversible swelling of porous materials like wood and drywall, giving homeowners a better chance at full recovery.
