WHAT TO EXPECT

Industry “experts” usually recommend that following a serious flood, internal finishes such as plaster, plasterboard and timbers be stripped out where affected. THIS IS OFTEN TOTALLY UNNECESSARY AND INCREASES BOTH DOWNTIME AND OVERALL COST POTENTIAL. Their recommendation is usually based on ignorance of modern (speed) drying techniques, their own commercial agendas and knowledge based on antiquated dehumidifier methodologies which are known to be inefficient during certain operating conditions often found here in the UK.

Our SPEED DRYING methods major on NO stripping out unless it is absolutely needed. Please request a booklet that compares our methods against traditional methods in similar or adjoining properties. The facts and photo’s speak for themselves!

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO DRY A WET PROPERTY?

Competition for your drying business is great. On checking the internet, you will find a whole host of claims from building companies and “drying experts.” all of whom aim to “hook” you into using their services. We consider many of their claims to be misleading - for instance, one Company claims to be able to dry out “the majority” of all class one and two jobs in under 50 hours – naturally your property will be the one that takes longer! BDMA accredited Professional Drying Companies have stated at a recent CIRIA consultation that 4 weeks should be sufficient to dry any seriously damaged home with traditional methods of dehumidification: TOSH! (Just check out how long it took to dry wet property in places such as Carlisle, Hull or Tewkesbury where wet properties have taken up to a year to be dried out and where properties are still found to be wet after Certificates of Drying were issued. (Request our speed drying comparison ).

The answer to the question is that we recommend that all water damaged properties are viewed and assessed individually with guidance being given on the most efficient and economic methods of drying for the job. It may be that traditional method would be suitable or more cost effective to your requirement and these methods are never ruled out.

It can be shown in comparisons involving adjoining similarly water damaged properties and independent testing, that both trailer mounted and portable Convectant speed drying systems dry significantly faster than old fashioned dehumidifiers.
