Magna-Dry uses state of the art equipment and moisture sensing tools to ensure that all affected areas are dried efficiently and effectively. Magna-Dry is so confident of our dry-out capabilities that we guarantee against mold growth resulting from a qualified water damage loss.

Magna-Dry also understands that any damage from water, large or small, is a difficult process for a homeowner to go through.

Magna-Dry is candid and authentic in our approach to a water loss because we care about our customers – the scope of damage, prices for services, duration of dry-out, potential issues, etc. are all items that are discussed honestly and openly with the customer…because it’s the right thing to do.

Water damage mitigation – the work, efforts, etc. aimed at reducing or eliminating the damage caused by a water loss. Response time & extraction of water are the most important “mitigation” actions.

Water damage restoration – the work, efforts, etc. aimed at returning or ‘restoring’ the structure & contents to a pre-loss condition. “Drying out” all affected materials.

Pre-loss condition – the state of a structure or personal contents prior to the damage causing event. Your home the way it used to be before it was affected by a water loss.

Extraction – the removal of standing water, puddled water, or water saturated items such as carpet and carpet-pad through vacuum suction.

Dehumidification – the process of removing water vapor from the air, therefore producing dryer air.

Air Flow – a very important part of the dry-out process, focused air flow across wet surfaces creates increased evaporation and reduction of moisture levels.

Psychrometry – the science behind the process used to control moisture levels in the air and the affect of moisture on materials. A combination of temperature control, air flow, and humidity control (dehumidification) in order to dry-out materials affected by water.

Dry standard – the amount of moisture any material or object has within it prior to being affected by a water loss.

IICRC – The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, & Restoration Certification…the governing body providing guidelines and education concerning water damage mitigation and restoration services.

Monitoring – the process of day to day inspection, testing, data gathering, and moisture detection within a dry-out job; a certified technician checking the equipment and progression of restoration work.
