is the process of removing free water from the structure. Extraction is very important as the rate of water removal is 1200 times faster than that of evaporation.
is the process of introducing greater amounts of airflow to an area to increase the rate of evaporation.
is the process of removing the moisture content from the airspace. Once moisture has evaporated from the structure or contents through air movement it must be externally exhausted, or removed from the air through dehumidification. Failure to accomplish this may result in secondary damage to the structure or pose health risks due to the possibility of mold growth.
is the process of taking the relative humidity and temperature readings to ensure the structure is drying in the correct direction. Moisture content is also tracked throughout the job process to ensure building materials are dried with pre-determined dying goals.
