Drying Services
If you discover you have a leak, whether it be from our contacts or your own, it is vital to ensure the property is correctly dried. Drying is a crucial step in preparing to reinstate your property. Without sufficient drying, you will likely suffer problems with dampness in the future that your insurance company will not be able to cover.
The water damage sustained can vary depending on the construction of your property’s subfloor. Different constructions require different forms of drying, whether it be standard drying or specialist injection drying. Typically, if your house was built within the last 15-20 years, you may require injection drying if you find you have an underfloor leak.
At CMS, we have connections to restoration firms who are able to provide any form of drying service you may need. These restoration firms are well respected within the industry, and can provide you with a drying certificate upon completion of their works. That way, you can proceed with your renovations with peace of mind that the house has been fully dried.
