Screed Drying After Water Damage

Floor screed can retain moisture beneath coverings and within insulated floor systems after a leak. The surface may appear normal while the screed, insulation or layers below remain affected.

My HomeDry assesses the floor build-up, exposure and accessible measurement points before recommending surface drying, targeted airflow, lifting finishes or further investigation.

Traditional and proprietary screeds

Different screed types and manufacturers can have different testing and reinstatement requirements. The exact material should be identified where possible.

Insulation and membranes below

Water trapped beneath screed or above a membrane may not respond to ordinary surface drying. The system may require targeted access or specialist assessment.

Flooring-manufacturer requirements

Before new flooring is installed, the flooring contractor should confirm the test method and acceptable condition required for that product.

Frequently asked questions

Often, but the answer depends on the construction, contamination, cracking, insulation and access.
