Remediating flood damage is one of the most common property restoration tasks for a Vancouver home restoration specialist, and the better ones in town understand that certain remediation procedures involve added secondary risks to the structure. The heat generated by drying units can affect the integrity of building materials, and a pro will be expected to know how and to what extent heat levels may pose a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Water damage remediation jobs are all about HAT – Humidity, Airflow and Temperature. All three factors need to be working together to achieve the best drying results. Modern high-flow drying units are very effective, but only when applied and operated by someone with the required level of know how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heat concentration and dissipation rates are an important part of the equation and controlling them can sometimes become a concern. HVAC systems are very effective if excess heat is an issue, and they are typically used with portable air conditioners. It\u2019s easy to neglect factoring in the heat that is generated by your drying equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a simple and effective formula to find out the amount of heat your equipment is adding to the structure:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
