Detecting Moisture Before Structural Drying

Call For Booking
An important step that must be done before structural drying can begin is to detect where the moisture is within a structure. Moisture can be present in hidden areas that may not be visible to the eye. Speed-Dry locates moisture by using moisture detecting instruments combined with detailed knowledge of building construction.
When there is an inch of water in a house, it’s obvious that the flooring is wet. What may not be obvious however is where and how far up into the walls the water has wicked up. It can absorb into drywall and insulation behind cabinetry, tiled walls, and hidden structural areas. Likewise, when the source of the water comes from an upper floor, the water can travel laterally on its way down to the ground. It’s important to detect all of this moisture to establish an effective drying plan.

Moisture detection is also important in the case of water damage from an unknown source, such as a hidden roof leak, window leak, or hidden leak in the building envelope. Maybe you see or smell mold but you don’t know where it’s coming from. Maybe you are noticing staining on the ceiling or walls. In these situations, you need to find the source of the leak in order to fix the problem. Moisture detection and tracing is how we find hidden leaks.

    Repair & Installation

    Our first concern is your family’s comfort and safety!

    What should I do if my house or business gets flooded?
    Call Speed-Dry for immediate service 24 hours a day 365 days a year. One, two, or a crew of water damage technicians can be dispatched immediately. We will show up with trucks, machines, and man-power ready to handle the problem. We will also assess your damage and advise you whether it’s worth it to file a claim with your insurance.
    How much will it cost?
    Depending on the size and extent of the water damage, the price could run from $105 for something small thru several thousand dollars for extensive water damage. Speed-Dry bills your insurance so you don’t have to pay out of pocket.
    What will Speed-Dry do?
    First, we will extract and remove water. If necessary, we will remove wet carpet, pad, flooring, baseboards, cabinets, insulation, sheetrock, etc. We will set up drying machines and dehumidifiers to quickly dry your structure so mold and microbial growth is minimized and prevented. We will take care of your home, business, and property as if it were our own.
    Why should I use a professional water damage company like Speed-Dry?
    Quick, thorough drying is crucial because water can seep into hidden areas and rise 1-2 feet in sheetrock, even if only the floor was wet. Moisture isn't always detectable by touch, so trained technicians use moisture detectors and drying equipment to prevent mold growth and costly damage. Proper drying ensures the structure is safe before mold becomes a health hazard.
    What if I have unsanitary water flooding, sewer water flooding, or the water has been sitting for a few days?
    For the best results, have Speed-Dry promptly remove wet materials and disinfect the structure. Acting quickly prevents further damage and protects the health of your family or building occupants.
