Preventing mold is the first goal. Then keeping costs lower than demo is second goal, but you have to remember the first goal. Drying out a water damage restoration project can range from a complete save. To complete demolition, usually it falls somewhere in between. There are always better fancier methods to dry, But sometimes it just has to come apart each water damage is different. Thank you for the comment, Clay.

Great stuff Clay, how long does this type of process take and what does it usually cost to perform this vs opening the walls to let dry? Thanks for the great info.

@carpetcleaningftl We are located in Massachusetts, and also do work in New-Hampshire. Some other New Egland states that we have worked in are Vermont, Maine, Rhode-Island and Connecticut. I would like to visit Tampa though, see if you can hook me up. Clay

Thank you sir for you videos and your helpful suggestions over the phone.

I am sure every one else with a water damage will find your videos extremely useful. I just regret not having you in my city:)

It was Cold and this building had very limited heat. It was critical to capture the sparse heat and heat the affected room to temps that would promote drying. An LGR locked in a cold room would not have achieved warm enough temps to promote proper drying. The room dried, the furniture was fine. Thanks for the comment.

hmm. What is in that room capturing the moisture? You didn't need to place the Dehum outside. The fans help with the evaporation and the dehumidifier helps capture that evaporation, also replacing the cold moist air, with warm dry air. As well the fans will help push that warm dry air Just pop it in the room and tent off the room. An LGR would of done great. Also, do you want to cook that room to 115? I see possible wood furniture behind you at the beginning of the video, as well as paintings?

Why not just use a Phoenix D385 ?

[aaaflooddrying]

@emergencyresponse911 The waste heat from the phoenix 200 is higher than from the 385 so the total MERP is higher. Hotter dryer air in our experiance.

How is the moisture supposed to get out of the room with no dehu in the room and containment over the door? As the evaporation happens, whats preventing secondary damages? Any insulation issues here?

[aaaflooddrying]

Good questions, most answered by previous post.

How long is it going to take to dry?

[hoylescarpet]

Thats amazing most people just cut open the walls. You just saved the customer alot of headaches and aggravation

[puic989]

i have same problem but more major.........the walls literally have like yellow bumps cuz of humidity.....and its now covering an electricity outlet...........how can i fix it myself????

[aaaflooddrying]

Sometimes its easier and faster to remove wet wall and replace, you already have to paint.

[graffix3001]

I'm just curious. Why wouldn't you place the dehu in the room to assist with pulling the moisture from the walls and ceiling and then just shut the door?

[aaaflooddrying]

Very good comment. There was no heat in this room in the cottage. Limited heat was available in the main room. Positioned the dehumidifier to capture the heat and deliver both the heat and dry air where needed. It worked well saved all surfaces.

Why was the carpet removed and not extracted on site along with the pad with a hydro-x? Vortex drying should dry this room in 3 days or less. Was the carpet dried off site? If so what about shrinkage? If dried off site it will need restreched. What was your cost in Xactimate to dry? You heated up the room temperature and since hotter air holds more moisture did this wetter air just escape in to the other room through the cracks in the containment?
