Drying out properly is what stops a water problem turning into a rot and mould problem. We use commercial gear and moisture meters, not a couple of pedestal fans.
After water or flood damage, a floor or wall can feel dry on top while moisture is still trapped underneath and in the cavities. Left there, it leads to rot, swelling, lifting and mould. Real drying removes that hidden moisture, not just the surface water.
Recorded moisture readings give you proof the property was dried correctly, which matters for insurance claims and for the future sale of the property. It is the difference between a job that looks finished and one that is finished.
Drying usually follows extraction after a leak or flood, and we handle the whole process end to end so you deal with one team from first callout to final sign-off.
Mould starts growing within 24 to 48 hours of a leak. The sooner drying starts, the less damage and the lower the cost.

It varies with how wet the structure is, typically several days to a couple of weeks. We monitor moisture readings and confirm when target levels are reached.
We take moisture readings throughout and compare them to a dry standard for the material, so drying is confirmed with data, not guesswork.
