Containment is not just for Mold Remediation
We sometimes utilize the use of containment to escalate drying. During Water Mitigation it is sometimes necessary to tear out saturated drywall instead drying it in place. This could be due to a few different factors. The first factor might be that the saturated materials were damaged beyond restoration and could not be dried in place. The second factor may be due to insulation being present inside the walls which would delay drying. After performing the demolition of the saturated drywall we sometimes find that the wood studs are also saturated and need to be dried. If the affected room is too large, we know that it might take longer to dry those studs so it's sometimes necessary to setup containment in order to concentrate our drying efforts to one particular area of the room. Such as depicted in these photos. This technic assists us with speeding up the drying process and helping us to get your home or office back to preloss condition.
