Nowadays, thanks to the extremely erratic stormy weather conditions prevalent in Canada, we are facing unprecedented amount of torrential rain. Many citizens are complaining of burst water pipes and flooded properties. Now more than ever, we need anti-flooding and efficient plumbing solutions. It is in this context that structural drying comes into the picture.

· What is structural drying?

To put it simply, structural drying is the process of artificially removing the excess moisture content from your property, with the help of certain instruments, so that your property returns to the dry standard (that is its natural moisture level). With the help of specially capable, powerful water removal and water extraction equipment, the structural drying process sucks up the even deepest traces of moisture unseen to the human eyes, thus eliminating all chances of moisture retention and consequent health hazards.

· Why do you need it?

Water retention can occur due to leaks in roofs and other plumbing accidents, a nasty storm and subsequent flooding among other things. You might think that you will easily mop it up or allow it to dry up naturally, but moisture can cause serious damages to your property. It will help in the growth of mould, moss and rust in your plumbing system. The water will seep through the carpets, wooden flooring, concrete and even seep up the walls, facilitating the decay and rot of your property. And not to mention the colonies of life-threatening fungi, bacteria and viruses it will breed! Hence it is wise to not wait for a natural drying process and trust on water removal and water extraction experts like Emergency Flood Services. The experts will sop up the moisture using specialized equipment sparing your property and health the damages, that too, within a day or two.

· How is structural drying done?

Professional structural service providers use a series of heavy-duty equipment and state-of-the-art procedures to get the job done and leave your residential or commercial property in its dry state. Expert water removal and water extraction solution providers like Emergency Flood Services usually follow four crucial steps

Water extraction: In this step, powerful pumps and Water Claw etc. are employed to drain the water from the property. Carpets and cushions are squeezed dry by the machines to ensure that the maximum water in its liquid form is drained out. Thanks to the modern-day machines, you do not even have to lift the carpet to dry it, the powerful vacuums can be placed on them to dry them conveniently, saving you a lot of hassle and precious time. This step is really crucial and should not be skipped as the water in the liquid form is best drained, speeding up the process of structural drying infinitely.

Evaporation: In this next step, specialized fans are used to evaporate the residual water since even after drainage, the surfaces remain quite wet. These fans are basically high velocity air movers which increase the airflow in the rooms, allowing the process of evaporation.

Dehumidification: Before dehumidification occurs, the air in the property is fully saturated with the moisture that is sucked out from the surfaces. The dehumidification process sucks out this moisture from the air, thus preventing any further seepage into the carpets, cushions and floorboards again.

The structural drying process next employs infrared scanners and moisture meters to ensure that no speck of moisture remains in the room. Then the hot air between 70 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit is blasted through the space, so that the process of further dehumidification is boosted. This warm air temperature is maintained for ideally 36 to 48 hours, as per the requirement of the weather.

The property is then sanitized and deemed fit for use.
