Drying and Dehumidification in Water Damage Restoration

When water damage occurs, time is critical. Without proper drying and dehumidification, excess moisture can lead to structural deterioration, mould growth, and costly long-term damage.

At Flood Emergency Services Australia, we specialise in fast, effective moisture removal to protect your property and restore it safely.

The drying process starts after all standing water is extracted. Air movers are then used to increase evaporation by circulating dry air across wet surfaces. Simultaneously, dehumidifiers pull the evaporated moisture out of the air to prevent it from being reabsorbed into building materials.

There are two main types of dehumidification used in water damage restoration:

  • Refrigerant dehumidifiers, ideal for warm, humid conditions
  • Desiccant dehumidifiers, used in colder environments or for large-scale drying projects

Understanding drying and dehumidification is essential because water often penetrates deep into walls, floors, and cavities. At Flood Emergency Services, we use advanced tools like moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras to detect hidden water and track drying progress.

We don’t just dry what you see, we address what you can’t. Failure to completely dry materials can result in mould growth within 24–48 hours. That’s why our certified technicians follow strict protocols to ensure every inch is properly dried, monitored, and documented.

Whether it’s a burst pipe, storm damage, or a flooded basement, Flood Emergency Services is available 24/7 to provide expert drying and dehumidification services that protect your home or business.

Call us now on (07) 4519 5063 for an immediate, emergency, water damage response and let us help you restore your property—safely, and professionally.

I was really happy with the service provided by the Flood Emergency Services team. They arrived very quickly to address the leak in my son's bedroom and what could have been even more stressful was made as painless as possible. I would recommend their service.

What a terrific experience... I flooded the bathroomand hallway - terrified I called Bill panicked - calm cool and collected he talked me through the process. Bill and his team were clear and concise and did everything they said they would. A potential disaster for me became significantly easier and after a week (less than their predicted timeframe) all was restored, carpet relayed... good as gold.
