Blazing Hot, Blazing Fast Heat Drying Techniques

Photo of the month September 2020
For our September Photo of the Month we have a job involving a Category 3 “Black Water” incident. As can be seen in the photo, the lower part of the walls had to be cut out and the skirtings removed to gain access to the affected water damaged areas.
There are two processes involved in this water damage job to maximise the heat to the walls and floor. First off, there is a Drymatic II heat drying machine (not in picture) that is heating up the environment air and exhausting the wet air using a controlled timer.
Our next step, which we can see in the photo, is the Air Mover that is sucking in the air from the environment and into the Drymatic Boost Bar. The Boost heats up the air and blows the heated air into the Drymatic Floor Mat. The Drymatic Mats have tiny microjets that are then able to target dry the affected concrete and framework in the walls.
What does the Drymatic II do in this particular heat drying job? It has multiple purposes and shows the versatility of this fantastic product. It is used to contain the wet air, raise the overall room temperature, and also exhaust the moist air.
By raising the overall room temperature and the air mover sucking in pre-heated air there is an increase in the evaporation potential of the affected areas and we can achieve a temperature of 46°C on the surface material.
Nice work Jase, it’s fantastic to see how versatile our equipment really is.
