Applied Structural Drying (ASD) & Agent Loss Ratio Sheet FAN DEHUMIDIFIER PAD BACKING SUBSTRATE (PLYWOOD)
Science WATER SURFACE TENSION WIND THERMOCLINE HEAT
Science PAD CARPET SUBSTRATE (PLYWOOD)
Science H2O ÷ ASD = H2 / O Heat – causes the violent agitation of molecules Motion – breaks surface tension of standing water
Science - Water Travels In 2 Directions • The path of least resistance • From wet to dry BATHTUB WATERFALL RIVER LAKE LIVINGROOM CARPET
The Path of Least Resistance INS DRY BASE CARPET PAD SIDING PLYWOOD FRAMING JOIST
From Wet To Dry HEAT 105 º Qualified Measurements • Relative humidity • Temperature • Grains per pound • Relative material standard WET DRY - + STRAW EFFECT
Goal ASD is a method to reverse natural occurrence to restore a structure to pre-loss condition.
Standard Water Damage Operation • Remove Wet Materials • Extract Porous Material • 1 Fan per 8-12’ ?? • Dehumidification per 8F ratio 15’ DEHU 10 x 15 = 1,500 sf 10’
Standard Water Damage Operation Restoration Construction Emergency Temp
A.S.D. Standard Water Loss • Extract porous materials • Dehumidification by G.P.P. in air • Fans – water tension & dew point • Meet 72 hr dry time 15’ HEAT DEHU 105º 10’
A.S.D. Standard Water Loss Restoration Construction Emergency Temp
A.S.D. Standard Water Loss 57% TOTAL LOSS
