Water damage restoration Lincoln DryHero Water & Mold. On this project, Ritch Paprocki explains how this Lincoln Nebraska basement suffered a sump pump failure after heavy summer rains. The result is a completely flooded basement where all the structural materials are wet in the bottom 16" of the home. DryHero Water & Mold's approach was to save everything...and they did! But how?

The most important component to a water damage restoration project is to evaluate the amount of damage and the types of materials impacted. In Lincoln, like many areas of the country, there are very old and new buildings. Those finishes play an important role in what's possible, feasible and safe in terms of indoor air quality, bacteria and mold. Ritch Paprocki, founder of DryHero has been restoring damaged buildings since 1985 in Nebraska, so this preliminary evaluation phase of the project goes quickly and the clients are in good hands.

Quickly and safely drying a water damaged structure is really part science and part art, but focusing on the fundamentals makes the drying quite predictable. Consequently, confidence was quite high that all the water damaged materials could be saved in this basement. That process starts with really thorough and effective water removal. Every single ounce of water that is left in the structure after extraction must be evaporated, which is a slow and inefficient process. Calculating the amount of water left in the wet structure, we can now design our drying system.

The drying system is sized for the amount of pint removal (of water) necessary to evaporate the remaining trapped water quickly enough so that mold growth is controlled. This calculation is detailed and often in error or overlooked in the water damage restoration industry. Scary, we know! Using psychrometrics we can literally pinpoint the exact specific humidity, ambient air temperature and material temperature to create an elegant drying curve. Ah, water damage restoration perfection!

So, what are we missing in the dying triangle? ...Airflow! Airflow is really an art. By efficiently disrupting the boundary layers of wet, moisture laden air, it's possible to safely dry damaged materials that are often needlessly torn out. The end result is a faster water damage restoration project with less expense and clean air. The restoration and repair costs were cut in half on this project because the carpet, pad, base trim, drywall and cabinetry were all saved.
