Georgetown Water Damage From Water Heater

Wayne — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 13:56:33 +0000

Yet another 2 day dry out. The water heater was in a closet in the kitchen / dining area with a VCT floor. The VCT in the area allowed the water to migrate and stand in the dining area. This created wet walls in the dining room. Because there was wall paper we immediately removed the base molding, aerated the drywall below the base mold line and set up our drying equipment.

Lago Vista Water Damage Restoration

Another 2 day water removal! Fresh water damage from a toilet that didn’t shut off. We were able to dry the carpet and pad in place because of the type of pad that was installed. We did have to drill some holes in the kick plates of the cabinets but didn’t have to remove any of the base molding.

Some jobs are like this. We were able to get complete control of the environment and establish very good drying chamber. In fact, it was so dry after just 2 days that the walls are going to have to take on water to get back to normal moisture levels.

Wall and Cabinet Cavity Drying

Here’s some wall cavity drying and cabinet cavity drying pictures at a hotel in Georgetown.

2nd Story Apartment

Wayne — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 20:54:55 +0000

The tenant upstairs left the water on, so the downstairs had water in the walls, water in the ceiling, and water in the carpet & pad. Here’s the wall drying system we used to save the ceiling.

Here’s the drying system we used to dry the wall cavities.

Saved Wood Floor

Doesn’t happy very often, in fact we usually don’t even try to save engineered wood but we did. We installed this wood floor drying system with a dehumidifier and the floors were restored.

Carpet and Pad Extraction

Wayne — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 01:54:12 +0000

We specialize in rapid moisture removal. The most important step is the extraction. That’s why we use top down water extraction with all fresh water losses. This technique pulls so much water out of the pad without lifting the carpet that you wouldn’t be able to wring any water out of the pad. Follow this up with proper temperature settings, humidity control, and air movement and you get rapid drying. This doesn’t work with all pad types and carpet backing but we can determine that during a FREE moisture inspection.

Below is a picture of our top down extraction.

Wet Walls

Does the base molding always have to be removed when the walls are wet from a water incursion? How deep is the water? Where was the source? How long was it wet before mitigation began? There are many factors involved. Most of the floods we are called out to don’t need the base molding removed even if the walls are wet. This is because there is no moisture in the wall cavities. How can that be?

There is a 2 x 4 on the ground in the wall cavity. If the water level isn’t higher then 2 inches then the moisture in the dry wall is from water wicking up the dry wall. With a good drying system; dehumidification, air movement, and temperature we can usually dry the walls without removing base molding. This saves money and lots of time because their is less repair required to put your house back together. Moisture meters don’t lie! If it’s dry, it’s dry.

Water seeks an equilibrium. Wet goes to dry. Here’s a cool experiment for you. Take 2 glasses, fill 1 with water and leave the other one empty. Now roll up a paper towel and put half of it in the glass with water and half in the empty glass. In 3 to 4 hours, both glasses will have the exact same amount of water in them. Again, wet goes to dry. This is part of the science we use for drying carpet and walls.

The only except is when there is wall paper because the wall paper doesn’t allow vapor transmission.
