After a leak, flood or burst pipe, removing standing water is only the first step. Structural drying is the process of removing moisture that has soaked into walls, floors and other building materials so they do not stay damp and develop mould or long term damage. Mould Squad provides professional structural drying using measured, controlled methods rather than guesswork.
Structural drying is a specialised part of water damage restoration that focuses on drying the building itself, not just the visible water. Using a combination of extraction, air movement and dehumidification, we remove liquid water and bound moisture from carpets, underlays, concrete slabs, timber framing and other materials. The aim is to bring moisture levels back to normal so repairs can be carried out safely and effectively.
Effective structural drying protects both your property and the people who live or work in it. Key benefits include:
Our structural drying follows three key phases. First we remove as much liquid water as possible, then we dry surface materials and finally we remove moisture that has been absorbed deeper into the structure. Each phase is important to avoid leaving hidden damp spots that can cause problems later.
Surface drying of carpet underlay and surface water from building materials such as timber and concrete.
Drying of water already bound in materials. To assist in the third phase of drying of water damage property, knowledge of how materials dry is of great importance and how drying actually takes place within a building. Different methods, knowledge and tools are required to get the energy required to the bound water to ensure phase change.
Mould Squad specialises in water damage restoration, mould remediation and structural drying.
Our technicians use moisture meters and thermal imaging to map how far water has travelled, then design a drying plan that suits the building and materials involved.
You receive regular updates, moisture readings and a clear report at the end that can be used by insurers and builders to plan the next stage of works.
