BENEFITS OF DRYING WITH HEAT:
Over the past several years a new method of drying has developed. Although refrigerant and desiccant drying are probably the most known and practiced methods of drying, heat drying has become a new favourite. The use of convective heat has been shown to be the most effective drying process under many sets of drying circumstances.
The benefits of heat drying are many. The following benefits to heat drying include:
- It provides a faster and more efficient drying process to carpet, drywall, acoustic ceilings and insulation.
- It provides a more thorough and complete drying process through which building materials are restorable.
- It reduces business-loss interruption so tenants can reoccupy the building faster.
- It decreases the drying time of large open-air spaces and vaulted ceilings.
- It reduces secondary damage where building swelling and hardwood floors are not disposed.
- It stops potentially harmful microbial growth that amplifies in the presence of moisture.
- It increases building wellness because thorough heat drying procedures are able to benefit the wet building immediately.
- It returns the building to its pre-loss moisture equilibrium at a faster rate.
