Application: Residential
Xtreme Drying was called out to a residential property in Queen Creek, AZ, after the homeowner noticed staining on the garage ceiling and swelling of the baseboards in the foyer. These were clear indicators of a water intrusion issue. Our team responded promptly to assess the situation and quickly confirmed that water damage had affected several areas of the home, particularly the foyer walls and tray ceilings.
Our first step was to establish dust barriers to contain the affected area and prevent contamination to other parts of the home. We then constructed targeted drying chambers to help direct airflow and maximize the efficiency of our equipment. The source of the leak had saturated drywall and insulation, which required removal to prevent further damage and to allow proper drying.
One of the challenges with this project was dealing with blown-in insulation, which can become dislodged and messy during demolition. To address this, we used an air scrubber to help clean the indoor environment and maintain air quality while work was underway. This was especially important given the insulation’s tendency to spread throughout the space once disturbed.
Our technicians removed the wet drywall along the foyer wall and ceiling, carefully managing the insulation throughout the process. Once the affected materials were removed, we installed drying equipment, including air movers and dehumidifiers, to bring moisture levels down to a safe range. The drying phase lasted three days, during which we monitored the equipment and adjusted as needed for maximum efficiency.
After drying was complete, we returned to remove all equipment and seal any openings that could allow insulation to fall before the repair phase could begin. This helped ensure the home was left in a clean and contained condition, ready for the next steps in restoration.
