Why is In-Place Drying Best After a Water Loss?

1/15/2021 (Permalink)

Whenever possible, removing water with in-place drying allows us to dry any water without excessive disruption to the area. This drying must take place quickly after the loss, and our technicians follow a strict protocol to prevent any water from migrating further. 

In-place drying works by:

• Using a wanded extractor and performing several initial passes to halt water from migrating into dry areas.
• Using weighted extractors to help squeeze water from carpet and padding.
• We always start in the center of the room, moving outward as we extract water, moving furnishings as needed. 
• Continuously monitoring progress and testing carpeting and padding to determine water content throughout the process. 

With in-place drying methods, our crew can keep furniture in the rooms being treated. This avoids time added to pack up pieces and move things out for mitigation. This process also helps to ensure the carpet is at lower risk of stretching, tearing and delaminating. Our skilled team takes the time to deliver the best results under the best conditions. This cuts back on the potential for removing and replacing floor coverings.

If you experience a water loss in your Charlotte, NC, home be sure to follow all CDC guidelines when reentering your home.
