Preservation Over Reconstruction Saves Time and Money

Water damage is known to spread quickly from room to room, impacting numerous materials and contents in your home. The typical restoration process can include controlled demolition and reconstruction; however, this may not always be the most economical or sustainable solution. In-place drying has become a popular option for homeowners in Georgia who want to preserve the original building materials. 

What Is In-Place Drying? 

In-place drying is gaining popularity for water remediation in Cumming homes and businesses. It is a restoration technique that involves extracting water and drying carpets, pads, and subfloors without removing flooring or structural materials, provided the water is clean and free from contaminants. It utilizes a powerful air mover, dehumidifier, and technology for tracking moisture movement to dry the affected area in place, which is meant to save the original elements and potentially avoid major disruptions to your family's life. 

How It Works

Our AdvantaClean of Norcross and Buford technicians are trained to determine whether in-place drying is a feasible option. If everything is okay (no contamination, minimal structural saturation, and pad intact), we proceed with: 

  • Complete extraction with weighted and wand-type extractors. 

  • Strategic positioning of air movers to generate high-velocity airflow over saturated surfaces. Air movers are a vital piece of the equation for consistent evaporation. 

  • Dehumidification systems remove moisture from the air, thereby accelerating the evaporation process. 

  • Moisture mapping and thermal imaging to monitor progress and identify concealed pockets of saturation. This process is critical in managing mold threats before they happen. 

  • We use psychrometric readings to stay within the boundaries of ideal drying, which optimizes efficiency and minimizes the risk of microbial contamination. 

  • The Benefits to the Homeowner 

  • Faster Recovery Speeds: This means that homeowners are not waiting for weeks or longer to coordinate with other contractors who demolish first, allowing them to choose more efficient solutions.  

  • Saving Original Materials: New replacement of vintage flooring is never a perfect match. In-place drying preserves your home's original character and appearance. 

  • Economically Sound: Less material and labor time translates to substantial insurance claims and out-of-pocket cost savings.
