Not long ago an opportunity arose for a pair of our All Aces Technicians to play with one of their favourite toys – Our Heat Drying equipment!
Sometimes our technicians get to have all the fun and go to all the nice places. This job was in a lovely apartment in Brisbane with an incredible view – life is tough for some!
Upon arrival, our technicians discovered that the tiles in the bathroom were affected by water – more water than a regular shower would produce, obviously. Actually, a pipe had burst behind the toilet and it was very difficult to detect as the toilet had an enclosed “S-Bend”.
The tiles were wet and they appeared lighter and had a milky appearance. This was due to the water getting into the porous tiles. Sadly the tiles could not be saved as they were damaged beyond repair, so we focussed on heat drying the concrete subfloor in the bathroom. Drying concrete is quite a time consuming process, however we have the technology to the speed that process up. We quickly set up a zip wall, which is a plastic wall use to reduce the size of a room so that we can dry the area faster. We then used a Heat Dryer suck fresh air in via a vent, heat it up and blow it into the area affected. The heat drying done by the Drymatic Heat Dryer is such a sophisticated machine that it can take readings as well as create hot air. It is a favourite toy of our All Aces Technicians.
In no time we were able to dry the concrete subfloor which allowed the owner to lay new tiles safe in the knowledge that there was no moisture in the floor and hence no risk of mould or further damage.
Another happy restoration customer!
