At the beginning of any restoration job, there is generally a feeling of hope, trust and good will that the job will be done correctly and the disaster will be erased. However, all that can change with the flick of a switch if an over-aggressive drying approach is applied at the wrong time.

 It’s a basic principle of drying: air movement evaporates moisture and dehumidifiers extract the moisture from the air. So it seems logical when wet materials are encountered to begin the dry-out process as soon as any needed extraction is done. However, applying air movers in the wrong situation can not only make a job quickly go south, it can also land you in court.
