Hi this is Allen Lewis, referral painting restoration and we've derived at a home and as you can see this is not the normal condition of your basement carpet is wet overnight and we had a large storm. There's some pump cannot keep up with water and as a result, the basement has flooded water so I just wanted to show you real briefly the different kinds of stuff that referral. it takes to restore this basement so the first most important step is finding what's left and finding all perimeters. So, as you can see here we have a case with several different types of meters that work differently. For different types of materials, we have a moisture probe that we can use to go into the carpet pad because sometimes the padding is wet below, where the carpets so this way, you can see how far that's wet. We have meters that you can drive into a material such as a solid wood floor. To see the moisture content of the wood, inside we have a meter that measures the temperature and humidity and grains of the air. We have a non-destructive meter that we can place on the wall and as you go down it alerts you to when there is an excessive amount of moisture by sending a signal through these paths.

We also have a thermal-imaging camera that senses temperature where it's wet it's evaporating and it's cooler these senses and gives you a visual of that temperature difference. So these are the tools that we use to see what's wet if it's drying. When it's dry we will know for sure the next important stuff is going to be moving furniture so, that we don't leave fresh dirt stain. You can see we have sliders here. So we can safely move your furniture to an area that is unaffected. The next step will be extraction depending on the severity and we may use a floor tool to extract standing water but if there is a tad below the carpet, your path is still less. So I have another video, you can look at after this exclaims up warned us this is our rated extractor that we will ride on its and will extract by compressing the carpet pad to squeeze out. As much the flooded water as possible because it's hundreds of times faster to extract water than to try to evaporate it so that hasn't been the most. One of the most important steps in this process is there are many different ways to drive depending upon the condition of the carpet. The type of the pad and how wet it's been and how long it's been wet. There are different ways you can go about restoring a home and there's no one right way.

Occasionally the carpet mat will be taken out and replaced yet you have your current structure and surfaces to dry and that is the most crucial part that's repeatable on. These types of outsides of external walls, they're not going to push around very nicely, so that's our main focus. Thus here, I arranged up a pair of different ways of which we may push, and if a person or an individual can see this can be a low brain refrigerant the admit. Far more powerful than just what you are going to buy in Lowe's or Home Depot, these are usually made particularly regarding this sort of work to put out extremely dry air. Thus one example is usually sometimes organic beef dry out the air, this is an electric heater that then will immediately it to exactly what is left, so the step to drying is usually hot dry airflow for the water clearwater off typically the leading and dissects of which.
