What is heat drying!
Heat drying is a relatively new, advanced drying system that is now widely used in the water damage restoration industry for effectively drying houses and commercial buildings after they have been impacted by water damage and flooding.
Heat drying works in a different way than conventional water damage drying methods, in the early years of its’ inception it took a while for most water damage restoration companies to embrace this new concept however over time it became more popular as the potential for far better drying results became apparent for those using this system.
Fast forward ten years, to today and this heat drying system is now extremely popular and would be part of the everyday drying process for most water damage restoration professionals.
How does heat drying, dry out water damage.
In essence the concept behind heat drying is very simple, by heating up the wet materials you will increase the ability for those wet materials to evaporate the moisture out of them. This increased evaporation rate leads to faster and more affective drying of the wet materials.
There is a little more than this to heat drying however at its’ core this is how it works!
The heat drying system itself includes an endless selection of different size heat mats, multiple choices of heaters, specialised heat tubes and fittings that can be used to access all types or areas, heat fans and a whole variety of additional attachments that are very useful for water damage restoration jobs.
Without doubt the heat drying system is extremely versatile and allows for far better overall drying results in many water damage restoration and structural drying scenarios. The heat drying system doesn’t replace the conventional drying system however, it enhances it and gives the water damage restorer far more drying options and capabilities when tackling structural drying jobs.
In conclusion heat drying delivers faster and more effective water damage drying results whilst also giving the restorer more versatility to dry those difficult jobs. Heat drying has been a game changer for the water damage restoration industry.
