Construction: Frequently asked questions
How quickly can you respond to urgent construction damage issues?
We offer a 24/7 emergency response service across the UK to minimise delays and prevent costly damage. As an example, if damage has been caused by water, our rapid deployment teams use advanced moisture detection and drying technology to restore safe and stable conditions as quickly as possible. Whether dealing with flood damage, high humidity or mould contamination, we ensure your project stays on track.
Why is construction drying important for new builds and renovations?
Excess moisture in a building under construction can lead to significant delays, increased costs and long-term structural issues. Wet materials, such as plaster, concrete and timber, can take weeks or even months to dry naturally, slowing down the entire project. Professional construction drying ensures a controlled drying process, preventing mould growth and safeguarding the integrity of the build.
What are the risks of not drying a construction site properly?
Leaving moisture trapped in building materials can lead to mould growth, timber decay and weakened structural integrity. Mould spores not only damage materials, but can also cause serious respiratory issues for workers and future occupants. In the UK, improper drying can also lead to project delays and potential non-compliance with building regulations.
How do you remove moisture from a construction site efficiently?
We use industry-leading dehumidification equipment, including pressure dryers, wet vacs, suction dryers and remote monitoring systems. These technologies accelerate the drying process while preventing damage to sensitive materials like plaster and timber. Our specialists assess the specific needs of your site and implement a tailored drying solution to optimise efficiency.
What is mould remediation, and when is it necessary on a construction site?
Mould remediation involves identifying, removing and preventing mould growth caused by excess moisture in building materials. If a construction site has experienced prolonged damp conditions, mould can spread rapidly, affecting walls, floors and air quality. Professional remediation services eliminate existing mould and implement moisture control strategies to prevent recurrence.
