Module 32
Speed drying and advanced techniques
This module moves away from the traditional methods of drying and looks at the unconventional methods specifically designed for the building designs of Europe. Training historically available in water damage restoration revolves around techniques initially developed by the manufacturers of dehumidifiers and air movers and usually works against the laws of thermal and hydrodynamics.
The use of dehumidifiers requires water to be pulled from the building substrate in to the machines where the process water is removed, this movement is contrary to the laws of physics and this course shows how to maximise the drying potential for the fastest possible result.
This course is only available to those that have undertaken course module 31
