· 10 reviewsResidential Water Damage Drying
Water damage in a home can affect far more than the visible surface. Plaster, plasterboard, flooring, insulation, timber and fitted units may retain moisture after the leak has been repaired and the room appears dry.
My HomeDry assesses the affected building materials, records moisture conditions and creates a proportionate drying programme for houses, flats, HMOs and rental properties. The aim is to protect materials that can reasonably be retained while identifying areas that need access or removal.
How water affects a home
Water can move between rooms, floors and adjoining properties. A leak in a bathroom may affect the ceiling below, while an appliance leak can travel beneath kitchen units and floor finishes before becoming visible.
Living with drying equipment
Dehumidifiers and air movers can produce warmth and noise and may need to run continuously. Equipment positions should not be changed without agreement because airflow and collection are planned around the affected materials.
Homeowner, landlord and tenant coordination
The person instructing the work should confirm access, authority and the main contact. In rented properties, decisions about contents, repairs and insurance communication may involve the landlord, tenant, letting agent and insurer.
