Moisture in subfloor layers can cause significant structural damage and health issues, such as the growth of mold and mildew. Subfloor drying is an effective method for removing moisture from hard-to-reach areas like insulation layers beneath floors.

What is subfloor drying?

Subfloor drying involves removing moisture from the space between the floor and the insulation layer. This method uses specialized equipment to circulate dry air or extract moist air via hoses. The process often employs vacuum or pressure systems to accelerate drying.

Advantages of subfloor drying

  1. Efficiency – Effectively removes moisture from inaccessible areas, preventing damage to insulation and flooring.
  2. Minimal disruption – The process doesn’t require full removal of the flooring, reducing time and repair costs.
  3. Mold prevention – Eliminating moisture reduces the risk of mold and mildew growth, benefiting residents’ health.
  4. Versatility – Suitable for residential buildings, office spaces, and warehouses.

When to use subfloor drying?

Subfloor drying is particularly recommended after:

  • Flooding caused by plumbing failures,
  • Natural floods or heavy rainfall,
  • Leaks in underfloor heating systems.

How does the subfloor drying process work?

  1. Diagnosis – Experts assess moisture levels and determine the extent of the damage.
  2. Preparation – Technical openings are created for air circulation.
  3. Drying – Depending on the chosen method, equipment generates vacuum or pressure.
  4. Monitoring – The process is continuously monitored to ensure effectiveness.
