Water damage can be deceptive. Water penetrates into structural cavities creating trapped pockets of saturation. The detection of water in these areas can often only be discovered with sophisticated moisture detection meters.

Undetected moisture will continue to cause damage. This damage, at a
minimum, will cause odors. Greater damage will surface when materials
delaminate, shrink, split and further deteriorate to where costly
repairs are required.

More than just removing excess water, IICRC-certified restorers have
the knowledge and equipment to further dry a home or facility (including
substructure materials) completely back to pre-loss conditions. Through
timely response and the careful monitoring of water damage, mold and
other health issues can be prevented. If water damage has been present
too long, mold will occur.

All IICRC-certified professionals have the training and experience to
identify moisture sources, evaluate mold growth (visible or suspected),
contain damage, remove contamination and dry materials to ensure that
mold will not return.

While there are many methods for drying structural components and
contents, the “in-place” drying system has been taught in the industry
and used by drying contractors since the early ’80s. In those days, this
method of drying components, without significant removal of furnishings
or fixtures, was somewhat restricted, due to limitations imposed by
extraction, evaporation and dehumidification equipment. In recent years,
however, drying technology (extraction, evaporation, dehumidification),
along with better understanding of psychrometry, has advanced in major
ways so that in-place drying has, in some cases, become far more safe
and practical.
