Sometimes it can take time for the concrete, plaster and paint to cure and dry after new construction. Failure to do so can lead to costly mould and indoor environmental problems. Call Now What we can do for you Large Scale Dry Down Use of Large Dessicant Dehumidifiers Meet Moisture Standards Service Overview We offer economical solutions by supplying dehumidified air into the environment through the use of dehumidification. We can use a combination of refrigerant and desiccant dehumidification to draw moisture out of the building environment. The low humidity air exhausted by the dehumidifier helps draw the moisture out of the saturated building components. High Rise ConstructionWe have 2000 CFM unit for hire which can fit inside an industrial elevator. This can be hooked up to the internal power of the building. This is capable of quickly drying a floor then moved up to the next floor ready to repeat the process. Large Commercial BuildingsWe also have 5000 CFM desiccant dehumidifiers that can be hired to dry large areas. Typically this unit will sit outside the property and is ducted in. This unit has the capability to run off temporary power Service Images Guides What is a Desiccant Dehumidifier?

This is why we provide 24/7 immediate response for all emergencies across all suburbs of Sydney and Brisbane.   The Wet Carpet Drying Process   Ever wondered how the professionals dry wet carpets? Here is what we will provide Water Extraction – The first step is to extract as much water as possible using a portable extractor; think of it like a vacuum cleaner for water. Extraction removes the bulk of the sitting water and dramatically reduces the drying time and the chances of saving your expensive carpet. Air Flow – The second step is to establish airflow across the carpet, to help the water evaporate from the carpet. This is best done using air movers or fans explicitly designed to move large quantities of air in long, flat patterns. In cold climates or specific circumstances, this can be aided by the use of heat mats. These warm the air up and can help encourage evaporation. Dehumidification – Since air naturally dries surfaces very slowly, it is crucial to use a dehumidifier to supercharge the drying process. Dehumidifiers remove large amounts of moisture from the air, allowing the water in the carpet to evaporate faster and dry the carpet more effectively. Dehumidification is especially helpful in Australia as the air is often quite humid, which slows down drying. Mould Remediation (As needed) – In some cases, there may be a need for mould remediation if the moisture has been present for some time. You can read more about our mould remediation process here. These are the main steps for drying a wet carpet and the steps we will take to solve your wet carpet problems. There may be a need to lift parts of the carpet in order to create airflow underneath. We will also take numerous moisture samples across several days to track the drying process, and will provide those readings directly to your insurance company if it is an insurance claim. In some cases, if the water has been sitting for a while or the water does structural damage, a carpet might not be savable. In these cases, we can remove and dispose of the carpet appropriately. No carpet will be removed without express approval from the owner or insurance company. Your Wet Carpet Drying Team Wet Carpet?Don’t take the risk of letting it sit, or getting amateurs.

Find Out More SEQ Service Areas NSW Service Areas Frequently Asked Questions Does the wet carpet smell go away? Yes! Proper wet carpet treatment will remove all the sitting water odour. We can provide a cleaning process after the drying is complete, if necessary, to remove the smell. If there is still a foul smell after all the drying and cleaning, there may be other things in the room that were water damaged in the initial event. Can I use a Wet-Dry Vac to Clean a Carpet? After a water damage event, it is always good to give your carpets a clean to remove any contaminants. Using a wet-dry vac or water extractor alone will probably not be enough to remove all the water from the carpets. You will still likely need to use airflow and dehumidification to dry the carpets properly. Is Wet Carpet Dangerous? Any sitting water can pose health risks and contribute to serious structural and air quality problems. Not drying a carpet properly after a water spill can encourage mould growth, sitting water can become contaminated, and water can affect buildings’ structural integrity in some cases. It is essential to dry wet carpets as soon as possible and to use professionals with the right equipment and training to do it correctly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWibDtgSy9M Guides How to Dry Wet Carpet in Brisbane Read More Water Damage Services Water Damage Restoration Wet Carpet Drying Sewage Cleaning Moisture Testing Wood Floor Drying Wet Document Drying Concrete Drying
