Heat Drying – A Better Way to Dry

Imagine if you dried your clothes using a dehumidifier and a fan rather than putting them in a dryer. How effective do you think that would be? How long would it take? And what would your clothes smell like when they’re finally done?

Believe it or not, wet carpets, drywall, acoustic ceilings and insulation have traditionally been dried using the dehumidifier-and-fan method. But Mobile Air does it differently, with heat drying! Heat drying is similar to drying your clothing in a clothes dryer. Just like a clothes dryer, our heat drying process is faster, more efficient, and more complete than traditional drying methods.

How Heat Drying Works

Our heat drying solutions combine heat and air movement to create a rapid evaporative effect.

  • The heat causes water to evaporate – even water that is trapped beneath non-permeable coatings and materials.
  • Mechanically controlled outside air forces the resulting water vapor out of the building materials, wall cavities and the structure itself.
  • Fresh outside air is circulated in the structure and properly vented out to eliminate any secondary damage caused by condensation and high humidity levels.


Heat Drying vs. Conventional Drying

We introduce both heat and mechanically controlled outdoor air into a wet structure. We monitor and maintain desired temperatures, moisture levels and air volumes. We even develop documentation that verifies the complete and thorough drying process.

The result? Up to 50% faster drying times. Less moisture damage. More effective mold prevention. The removal of odors and airborne contaminants. And more immediate move-back after a water emergency.


How Effective?

Heat-Drying Conventional Drying
  • Eradicates moisture more quickly – moisture is the “active” ingredient required to initiate mold growth.
  • Raises the temperature of the structure above that in which most molds will grow.
  • Helps remove mold spores from the building through elevated temperatures and mechanically controlled air exchanges.
  • Takes at least 50% longer to dry the same space – providing mold with the time and moisture levels needed to grow and multiply.



How Expensive?

Heat-Drying Conventional Drying
  • Lowers costs to the insurance company.
  • Reduces business interruption.
  • Lowers reconstruction costs of water damage.
  • Reduces secondary structural damage.
  • Longer drying times increase business-loss insurance claims.
  • Increases business interruption.
  • Greater potential for secondary damage reconstruction costs.



How Invasive?

Heat-Drying Conventional Drying
  • Large-capacity, small-footprint equipment controls the drying of large areas.
  • Allows more in-place drying with less overall demolition of structure.
  • Large number of small-capacity units is typically used, appropriating floor space and electrical power.
  • Slower, incomplete drying can result in high demolition and secondary damage costs.
