PRESSURE DRYING

< Back

Trapped Moisture? We Apply Pressure — Not Guesswork


After a flood or leak, moisture can become trapped in layers of flooring, joist spaces, wall voids, or cavity insulation. Standard drying methods often can’t reach these zones — leading to persistent damp, mould growth, and structural risk. We help clients who face:


  • Water trapped beneath timber floors, screeds, or insulation

  • Damp cavity walls or risers where airflow is restricted

  • Mould risk due to slow or insufficient drying

  • Project delays while waiting for substructure to dry out

  • Invasive strip-out pressures due to lack of drying options

  • Insurance claims that require specialist moisture control


At Eighty Eight, our pressure drying systems create airflow within confined spaces to speed up evaporation and recovery — safely and effectively:


  • Targeted pressure drying for subfloors, wall voids, joists, screeds, and risers

  • Installation of injection hoses and sealed containment to isolate damp areas

  • Use of positive or negative pressure systems, depending on structure and contamination risk

  • Real-time moisture monitoring and drying logs to track progress

  • Optional tenting and zone separation for high-efficiency drying

  • Non-destructive techniques that help minimise cost and disruption

  • Suitable for clean and black water incidents, backed by full risk assessments


We Use Pressure Drying In:


  • Flooded homes and commercial buildings

  • Insurance reinstatement and drying validation works

  • Schools, care homes, and public buildings
