The Goals of Restorative Drying

As restorative drying contractors, our goal is to return the structure to equilibrium with the environment as quickly as possible without causing any additional damage. Throughout this process we must continually evaluate the cost of restoration versus the cost of replacement on each component within the building—from carpet and pad to drywall, baseboards, furnishings and other contents.

The keyword is "restorative". Restoration of carpet, pad, drywall and baseboard is one of the fastest changing areas in our industry. The evolution of less disruptive drying methods have enabled us to do more restoring and less reconstruction and replacement. The more we learn about the various materials in the homes we dry, the more we are able to prevent secondary damage from water contact. Instead of automatically replacing materials, we can cost-effectively dry them.
