Ideal Response’s drying strategy stands on four pillars: creating optimal temperature, humidity and air movement levels within the affected area and a timely start to the drying process.

In terms of flood remediation, the initial extraction of the water itself is relatively easy. Drying ‘unseen’ water, however, is a very different proposition. The only way to do it is to encourage evaporation, and in order for this to occur as successfully as possible, the four drying pillars must be accurately balanced against each other based on the unique environment within which the drying is taking place.

Our state-of-the-art rapid drying equipment is strategically placed around the affected area to ensure optimal drying – and there’s more to that than you think.

Simply warming a flooded room speeds up evaporation, which increases the moisture content of the air. Choosing to then leave that area alone will cool the air and thus slow evaporation, so keeping the temperature under control is key. Increased humidity can also cause further secondary damage to materials in the room likely to absorb moisture easily.

Moving cooler, moist air away from wet surfaces and replacing it with warmer, dry air is important – but you may simply be displacing the moist air to another area where it may be causing damage.

Finding the right balance between temperature, humidity and air movement levels isn’t easy, and the longer it takes your flood remediation technician to make the right calculations, the more your property will be affected. Luckily, our experts have the knowledge to make the correct decisions quickly. Combining that with a two-hour response time for flooding emergencies means you can rest assured that further depreciation of your property will be kept to a minimum.

    FAQ's for Drying Process & Equipment

    If a property is not dried out fully, any damp surfaces will allow any residual germs and bacteria to thrive - posing a health risk to any who inhabit the building. Excess moisture will also encourage the growth of mould and will continually damage the building materials and structure, causing further issues.

    Ideal Response are able to carry out in-depth moisture surveys to ensure that a building is completely dry. We appreciate that just because something looks dry, it doesn’t mean that it is.

    The time it takes to dry out a building can vary depending on a number of different factors, including the severity of the flood, the complexity of reaching the target area and the building materials affected. Ideal Response use state-of-the-art drying methods and technology, meaning that we can carry out drying services with minimal damage and disruption to your home or business. We use remote monitoring technology which enables us to end the drying process at exactly the right time, achieving the desired RHU (Relative Humidity).

    At Ideal Response, we recognise how stressful and traumatic a flood can be. We also appreciate that the longer standing water is left, the more damage it can do and therefore the more costly the remediation becomes. Because of this, we offer a 24 hours a day, 7 days a week service and can be onsite within 2 hours of your call.

    In perfect conditions, mould can grow within 24 - 48 hours so quick action is crucial. Once mould has started to grow, it is likely to continue to do so while there is an excessive amount of moisture in the air.

    Flood water can be grey or black water - both of which contain pathogens which can be harmful to human health. If the flood water has come in from the outside, there is a good chance that it is contaminated with faeces. Standing water will also continue to cause damage to the building structure; for every inch of water left untreated, it will take an extra month to dry out using traditional methods.

    A building must be fully cleaned and sanitised before you will able to reoccupy it. This will ensure that any germs and bacteria are eliminated and, therefore, a threat to health is no longer present. You should also ensure that there is no mould growing within the building and any items due to go back inside are also completely dry and mould free.
