All you wanted to know about structural drying in Toronto
Nowadays, thanks to the extremely
erratic stormy weather conditions prevalent in Canada, we are facing
unprecedented amount of torrential rain. Many citizens are complaining of burst
water pipes and flooded properties. Now more than ever, we need anti-flooding
and efficient plumbing solutions. It is
in this context that structural drying comes into
the picture.

What is structural
drying?
To put it simply, structural drying is the process of
artificially removing the excess moisture content from your property, with the
help of certain instruments, so that your property returns to the dry standard
(that is its natural moisture level). With the help of specially capable,
powerful water removal and water extraction equipment, the structural drying process sucks up the even deepest traces of
moisture unseen to the human eyes, thus eliminating all chances of moisture
retention and consequent health hazards.
·
Why do you need it?
Water retention can occur due to
leaks in roofs and other plumbing accidents, a nasty storm and subsequent
flooding among other things. You might think that you will easily mop it up or
allow it to dry up naturally, but moisture can cause serious damages to your
property. It will help in the growth of mould, moss and rust in your plumbing
system. The water will seep through the carpets, wooden flooring, concrete and
even seep up the walls, facilitating the decay and rot of your property. And
not to mention the colonies of life-threatening fungi, bacteria and viruses it
will breed! Hence it is wise to not wait for a natural drying process and trust
on water removal and water extraction experts like Emergency
Flood Services. The experts will sop up the moisture using specialized
equipment sparing your property and health the damages, that too, within a day
or two.

How is structural
drying done?
Professional structural service
providers use a series of heavy-duty equipment and state-of-the-art procedures to
get the job done and leave your residential or commercial property in its dry
state. Expert water removal and water
extraction solution providers like Emergency
Flood Services usually follow four crucial steps
Water extraction: In this step, powerful pumps and Water Claw etc.
are employed to drain the water from the property. Carpets and cushions are
squeezed dry by the machines to ensure that the maximum water in its liquid
form is drained out. Thanks to the modern-day machines, you do not even have to
lift the carpet to dry it, the powerful vacuums can be placed on them to dry
them conveniently, saving you a lot of hassle and precious time. This step is
really crucial and should not be skipped as the water in the liquid form is
best drained, speeding up the process of structural
drying infinitely.
Evaporation: In this next step, specialized fans are used to
evaporate the residual water since even after drainage, the surfaces remain
quite wet. These fans are basically high velocity air movers which increase the
airflow in the rooms, allowing the process of evaporation.
Dehumidification: Before dehumidification occurs, the air in the
property is fully saturated with the moisture that is sucked out from the
surfaces. The dehumidification process sucks out this moisture from the air,
thus preventing any further seepage into the carpets, cushions and floorboards
again.
The structural drying
process next employs infrared scanners and moisture meters to ensure that no
speck of moisture remains in the room. Then the hot air between 70 to 90
degrees Fahrenheit is blasted through the space, so that the process of further
dehumidification is boosted. This warm air temperature is maintained for
ideally 36 to 48 hours, as per the requirement of the weather.
The property is then sanitized
and deemed fit for use.
