Trapped Moisture Can Ruin a Recovery Plan

Water ingress often sinks deeper than the eye can see. Beneath floor finishes, within insulation, or under screeds — moisture hides in hard-to-reach places. Left untreated, it leads to:

• Mould growth beneath floors or in wall cavities

• Prolonged drying times and delays in reinstatement

• Costly strip-outs or structural damage

• Failed moisture tests before flooring or decoration

• Rejected insurance claims due to inadequate drying

• Health risks and odour in domestic or commercial settings

At Eighty Eight, our suction drying systems allow us to:

• Apply negative pressure through injection hoses to draw moisture out of enclosed layers

• Use HEPA filtration to prevent contaminated air from recirculating

• Target wet screeds, subfloors, joists, insulation, and void spaces

• Seal the area to create a controlled drying environment

• Track progress with calibrated moisture readings and detailed logs

• Avoid destructive works by reducing the need to lift floors or strip finishes unnecessarily
