The video of the month for July 2018 goes to Malcolm Barnes from Magic Cleaning and Restoration Services for drying a yellow tongue sub-floor and under kitchen cabinets.

He removed water-damaged floating timber floor and stripped the kitchen to block the wall post mould remediation.

Evaporation Potential of 7 on the yellow tongue

Putting energy into the floor helps energising the water molecules which then diffuse through the materials into the air.

The Drymatic II  is such a versatile unit and becoming more popular every day over 20 units sold in the last 6 weeks.

Then they were exhausted out of the building using Drymatic II and 2 Boost Bars, Drymatic Mats and the Drymatic Boost Injection System. The floor was dry after 3 days. Malcolm utilised a dehumidifier with the Drymatic equipment in a containment for the masonry block wall.

The air flow into the kitchen was excellent thanks to the Drymatic equipment. A step down exhaust was used to exhaust the wet air out of a smaller window. He ran injection hoses through the Drymatic mats and heated the air up to 38 degree Celsius going into the cabinetry. 

Congratulations, Malcolm!
