Structural & Heat Drying

Structural drying is the discipline of removing water from the building itself rather than from its contents — and doing it without opening the structure up. Where it works, it saves the cabinetry, the flooring and the reinstatement bill.

This range is the in-place drying toolkit: the panels, adapters, tubing and vents that direct air where a fan cannot reach.

It includes Injectidry Vac-It panels in clear, slim and extra-slim 7 x 30 inch, and the 8-point 36 x 30 inch; Direct-It universal air mover adapters in standard and axial; specialty 5-port adapters with 2 ft and 4 ft wall vents; the Adaptidry 5-port injection drying system; the Interceptor inline HEPA filtering system and water separator; the HP Silencer; safety yellow tubing in 3/8 inch by 200 ft; the XPOWER Air Mover 400 multi drying kit; a Dri-Eaz duct kit for the BD2500; and Phoenix containment weights.

How to choose

Decide pressure or vacuum before choosing panels. Pushing air into a cavity drives moisture out through the building fabric. Drawing it out with Vac-It panels contains whatever comes with it. On a contaminated loss the second is usually the only defensible option.

Panel size follows the assembly. Slim and extra-slim panels exist for narrow bays, toe kicks and stair stringers. A panel that cannot seat is not drying.

Silence matters in occupied buildings. The HP Silencer is what makes in-place drying tolerable in an office or a bedroom, which is often what decides whether the job runs overnight.

Filter the return on Category 2 and 3 work. The Interceptor and water separator protect both the equipment and the rest of the building.
