The process begins with a comprehensive inspection using moisture meters, infrared cameras, and hygrometers to assess the extent of damage. High-powered pumps and industrial vacuums extract standing water, while specialized equipment such as weighted extractors and sub-surface tools remove moisture from carpets and flooring. Drying and dehumidification follow, using strategically placed air movers and desiccant or refrigerant dehumidifiers to eliminate residual moisture. Continuous monitoring ensures drying is thorough and prevents secondary issues like mold growth or wood warping.
Once moisture levels are stabilized, surfaces and materials are sanitized using antimicrobial treatments to prevent bacterial contamination and mold development. In cases involving black or gray water, additional cleaning protocols are employed to ensure the environment is safe. Damaged structural elements, such as drywall or flooring, are repaired or replaced as needed. With a focus on precision, safety, and efficiency, Dry Now’s water restoration process not only mitigates current damage but also prevents future issues, restoring both the property and indoor environment to optimal conditions.
