The Foundation of Professional Structural Drying: Our Technical Approach in Edmonton

At Oliver Square Property Care, we understand the importance of a thorough and technical approach to Structural Drying. Our team uses psychrometric drying charts and vapor pressure differentials to determine the most effective drying strategy for your property. We also utilize refrigerant and desiccant dehumidification, invasive and non-invasive moisture meters, and thermal imaging cameras to detect and measure moisture levels.

Our Structural Cavity Drying Systems use directed heat drying to dry out cavities and prevent further water damage. We also employ HEPA-filtered negative air scrubbing and containment zoning to prevent cross-contamination and ensure a safe working environment. By tracking specific humidity (grains per pound), we can ensure that your property is dried to a safe and healthy level.

Solving Edmonton’s Unique Structural Drying Challenges: Local Factors & Solutions

Edmonton’s extreme seasonal freeze-thaw cycles, abrupt winter Chinook thaws, extended sub-zero temperatures, and spring snowmelt/river basin flooding can cause catastrophic plumbing bursts, accelerate building envelope failure, and drive rapid microbial VOC (mVOC) production. Our team is experienced in addressing these unique challenges and has developed specialized solutions to mitigate their effects.

• Attic mould blooms triggered by severe winter ice-damming water intrusion melting into insulated roof cavities
• Category 3 (Black Water) contamination from frozen pipe bursts mixing with building materials, overland spring runoff, or municipal sewer backups
• Sub-slab moisture entrapment and foundation rot in deep-frost-line basement foundations and finished basements
• Rapid structural degradation caused by delayed mitigation when water damage occurs hidden behind drywall during sub-zero outdoor conditions
