When dealing with water emergencies, like a flooded basement or broken pipes, the main concern is finding a way to reduce the damage and get the client back into their space as quickly as possible. Finding a qualified company with industry certifications, extensively trained water technicians, and utilizing the most effective drying equipment is key to minimizing disruption and the potential for mold growth.
EJH Construction, Inc., a Farmington Hills general contractor that specializes in residential and commercial emergency disaster response and restoration, is one of the few IICRC certified firms in Metro Detroit effectively using a cutting-edge technology to dry water and flood damaged materials. EJH Construction owns a large inventory of TES (Thermal Energy Systems) equipment. The TES method is revolutionizing the way companies dry water in homes and businesses. This system uses heat and air exchange far differently than conventional methods. Some of the emergency restoration services EJH offers include water damage restoration and fire damage restoration. EJH is also an expert mold removal company and can handle all of your mold remediation needs.
TES (Thermal Energy Systems) Solutions
Well established restorers trained in water damage restoration do a fine job of heating up the air and drying out a damaged space and material within a few days. Although expensive to purchase, TES is a superior drying method, which can cut down drying time, save materials, and speed up the recovery process. TES technology differentiates itself by applying heat directly to the water in the structure, not just the air. As a result, the heat (thermal energy) transfers energy to the water molecules trapped in building materials, thus exciting them and causing more of them to achieve escape velocity. The more you heat water, the faster the water molecules move and can move from a liquid state to vapor. This is known as escape velocity or, more commonly, evaporation. Once the water is hanging in the air in vapor form, it can be blown out of a space and replaced with dry air.
This newer technology and equipment shorten the time required to dry a room from a few days using conventional methods to one day or less using TES. For a business, this can mean getting back to normal operations with little impact to customers, employees, and revenue. Another benefit of reducing the dry out time is less potential for mold and water damage. This is great news for anyone who has suffered from a flood, storm damage, or a broken pipe.
Make Sure Your Property Insurance Is Up To Date
Policyholders should make sure the insurance on their property is up-to-date and consider adding flood insurance and a water backup, sump pump failure endorsement. It’s a small extra, but will cover most water emergencies.
