Managed drying after flood and water Structural Drying for Water Damaged Properties

Water can travel through floors, walls, insulation, cavities and concealed areas of a building. Even when the visible water has been removed, moisture may remain within the structure and cause further problems if it is not dealt with properly.

TRS provides managed drying works for domestic and commercial properties following flooding, burst pipes, roof leaks, plumbing failures and other escape of water incidents.

Our team begins by assessing the property and identifying the areas affected. Damaged finishes or materials may need to be removed to expose the structure and allow moisture to escape. Drying equipment can then be selected and installed according to the construction of the building and the extent of the damage.

Moisture levels are monitored throughout the process. Drying continues until the affected areas have reached a suitable condition for repairs and reinstatement to proceed.

As an experienced reinstatement contractor, TRS can manage both the drying work and the repairs that follow, providing one point of contact from the initial assessment through to final handover.

Drying Faqs

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to dry a property?
Drying time depends on the amount of water, the materials affected and the construction of the building. Some areas may dry relatively quickly, while more extensive water damage can require a longer managed programme.

Can repairs begin as soon as the visible water is gone?
Not always. Moisture may remain inside walls, floors, insulation and structural materials after visible water has been removed. Moisture readings help determine when repairs can begin.

Will parts of the property need to be removed?
Materials that are badly damaged, contaminated or preventing the structure from drying may need to be removed. TRS will explain what is required following the initial assessment.
What equipment is used?
Depending on the property, drying equipment may include dehumidifiers, air movers and other specialist systems. The equipment selected will depend on the nature of the water damage.
Can I remain in the property during drying?
This depends on the extent of the damage, the areas affected and whether the property can be occupied safely. Each situation must be assessed individually.

Do you work with insurers and loss adjusters?
Yes. TRS regularly works with insurers, loss adjusters, property owners and businesses on flood and escape of water claims.
