If Superstorm Sandy was the restoration industry\u2019s biggest storyline in 2012, there\u2019s a good chance that the September Colorado flooding will be the storyline best associated with 2013. To recap, heavy rain began pounding Colorado\u2019s front range on September 9, dropping up to 17 inches of water \u2013 which is roughly equivalent to the annual rainfall totals in that part of the state \u2013 within days. The floods took eight lives and damaged about 20,000 homes \u2013 completely destroying some 1,500 more.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Colorado floods were devastating, but not to be forgotten are a few other major floods that occurred recently, notably the June flooding in Calgary and July flooding in Toronto. And as is the case with any type of flooding or water that enters the home \u2013 no matter if it\u2019s a small or large amount \u2013 comes the constant reminder of how crucial fast action is.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Many don\u2019t know, but mold can begin to grow in 24 to 48 hours from the time water enters the home. Also, getting to water-damage jobs quickly helps increase the chance that structural drying measures will be successful, eliminating excess demolition and reconstruction. And this all brings us to PuroClean\u2019s QuickDry system, which quickly and effectively dries flooded and water-damaged structures.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There are lots of different methods and drying technologies out there today. PuroClean\u2019s uses psychrometric science, a proven process that manages dehumidification and temperature to accelerate evaporation and drying while getting the job done in three days or fewer in most cases. The process uses high-capacity air movers to create a vortex of air and LGR dehumidifiers to draw in the wet, cold air and blow out warm, dry air. If the QuickDry system is initiated fast enough, just about everything can be saved, from the carpeting to the drywall.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But the key word, of course, is \u201cfast.\u201d It doesn\u2019t matter what type of drying technology is used or what kind of a water loss you\u2019re dealing with, fast action is key to a successful project. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
