BUILDING DRYING
Damp Buildings Create More Than Delays
Water damage or retained construction moisture can affect every part of a building — plaster, screeds, flooring, voids, insulation, and structural timbers. Without correct drying, the result can be:
Long-term mould problems and odours
Timber rot, warped flooring, or condensation damage
Failed moisture readings during reinstatement or fit-out
Costly delays in insurance or handover works
Health risks and complaints in occupied buildings
Stripped-out interiors due to undiagnosed hidden moisture
At Eighty Eight, we use advanced drying technology to restore buildings safely and efficiently:
Whole-building assessments using moisture meters, thermal imaging, and mapping
Deployment of desiccant or refrigerant dehumidifiers, air movers, and heaters
Targeted drying for floors, walls, ceilings, voids, and structures
Pressure and suction drying for inaccessible or layered materials
Regular monitoring and moisture logging for compliance and reporting

Optional support with strip-out, sanitisation, and mould prevention
