PRESSURE DRYING
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

Flooded homes and commercial buildings

⭐ Client Testimonial
“Eighty Eight used pressure drying to remove trapped moisture from under our screed after a water pipe burst. It saved us from having to rip up the floor, and the job was completed ahead of schedule. Highly professional service.”– Contracts Manager, Insurance Repair Firm in Walsall
