The restoration timeline starts immediately when your home or business suffers water damage. For some building materials, the process is merely hours until sufficient saturation causes them to become unsalvageable. California Construction Superior uses multiple types and models of structural drying equipment to resolve moisture concerns in your household.
Prioritizing Structural Drying in Your Household
Water damage restoration for San Diego homes often focuses on drying wet building materials and contents. Failure to begin the drying process immediately can lead to many issues that extend the restoration timeline and ultimately increase the cleanup cost.
- Structural Damage—Long-term water exposure destroys the building materials in your home, weakening them and potentially requiring replacement.
- Health Hazards—Long–term water exposure can lead to the presence of bacteria, mold, and other contaminants, which can become a hazard for your household.
- Mold Growth – Microbial spores come to rest on moist surfaces, which is ideal for the development of organisms.
Air Movers in the Drying Process
Air movers work by forcing warm air onto moist surfaces to promote evaporation of the trapped water. Airflow from these machines also helps move the humid air around, pushing it to the property’s exterior or where dehumidifiers can more effectively manage it. Another practical use of air movers is to limit the need for extensive demolition with low-profile units capable of forcing air into otherwise inaccessible areas of your household.
Dehumidifiers Aid the Drying of Your House
The other primary tool in structural drying for your residence is a dehumidifier. As the name suggests, this handy drying component reduces the present humidity to accommodate continual evaporation from the air movers. These units’ appropriate placement and frequency can work against mold and mildew development while effectively speeding up the drying process when used in tandem with air movers.
