Hiring standard dehumidifiers from a hire company – where they just drop off the gear and let you get on with it usually results in extended drying times or even inadequate drying as well as other issues. Dryiny yourself, shifts liability from the Insurer to you if you pay the contractor or do it yourself.
We would strongly recommend you call Action Dry to talk through an Insurers' proposal before accepting a cash settlement – which we regularly find inappropriately scoped and not in noncompliance to the guidelines set out in BS PAS 64 – the code of practice for the mitigation and recovery of water-damaged buildings.

If you decide to dry it yourself, you may be eventually asked for a Certificate of Drying by the Loss Adjuster or reinstatement contractor. If you cannot provide one, that may result in additional costs, complications, or building deterioration down the line.
We offer a DIY drying solution.
We hire you the appropriate equipment and moisture meters and we help with the initial set up and provide ongoing telephone advice. At the time you feel the property is dry, we will attend and if dry, certify the conditions and provide the drying certificate. Additional visits where the property is found not to be dry will incur an extra visit charge.
