Water damage assessment
Before anything is removed, we measure how far the water has spread and which materials are affected, then recommend the right solution.
Water damage drying & strip out
After a leak or flood, speed matters. We assess the damage, remove only what's necessary and dry the structure with industrial equipment, monitored until the readings say it's done.
Overview
What we do
Water trapped behind plaster, under flooring or inside stud walls won't dry on its own, and it's exactly where mould starts. The sooner professional drying begins, the less needs replacing.
We map exactly what's wet, advise what can be dried in place and what must come out, then dry the building with industrial dehumidifiers and air movers. Every stage is recorded with readings and photos.

In detail
From wet to dry, properly
Strip out & drying
Saturated materials are removed locally, only what's necessary, and the structure is dried with industrial equipment until moisture readings confirm it's dry.

FAQs
Water Damage Drying questions
How long does drying take?
Every job is different. It depends on the materials affected, how long they have been wet and the conditions on site. We take regular moisture readings so drying is confirmed by the numbers, not guessed, and we'll keep you updated throughout.
Why can't I just use a household dehumidifier?
Household units are designed for everyday humidity, not saturated walls and floors. Industrial dehumidifiers and air movers remove far more water, far faster, which limits secondary damage and mould.
Do I have to move out while drying?
Usually not. The equipment runs continuously and makes some noise, but most people stay at home. We'll advise you on your situation.
How do you know when it's dry?
We take regular moisture readings and compare them against dry reference readings. When materials reach target levels, we confirm it in writing.
