Drying structures in place: It can and should be done

Pearson Carpet Care using in place drying
Here is an article I wrote for ICS magazine online. For over a decade we have had the equipment, knowledge, and training in the water restoration industry to be able to dry structures in place, but many companies still refuse to dry and restore structural items.  Instead they want to remove and replace most items like we had to 20 or more years ago.  We, as an industry, need to take advantage of the technology we have available to us now and learn how to use it effectively.

  1. In my opinion, until the insurance companies demand it, it won't become mainstream. Their mentality of only paying for three days of drying, and favoring PSP vendors who don't use LGR's (I know I'm generalizing - this isn't true everywhere or all the time) or the proper amount of equipment, is dictating structures either get left wet, or get demoed... Quality restorers as a general rule are not well liked by adjusters in my area...
