WHY RESTORATIVE DRYING?

IF AN AVERAGE SIZED FULL GYM FLOOR IS TORN OUT AND REPLACED, THE TOTAL PROJECT COST IS ABOUT

AND THE LOSS OF USE (PROJECT SPAN) IS

THAT’S OVER

80% SAVINGS ON OPERATIONAL EXPENSE AND UP TO

90% SAVINGS ON COSTLY LOSS OF USE

1. There is a “restoration threshold “ based on the variety of hardwood and the time the moisture has been allowed to saturate it. 2. Plus, the severity of the water loss can be beyond reasonable levels. IMMEDIATE ACTION TO INSPECT FOR VIABILITY OF RESTORATION IS CRUCIAL OR IT MAY BE TOO LATE!

NOT ALL WATER-DAMAGED GYM FLOORS CAN BE SAVED:

EDUCATED DIAGNOSIS

A 3D moisture map is created based on

meter readings across and through the

materials

ACR creates a custom recovery environment for only the affected area.

Inside the structure, temperature, humidity and air/moisture

movement are controlled. Expert understanding of hardwood characteristics is needed for

optimum outcomes.

THIS GYM FLOOR RECOVERY TOOK JUST 5 DAYS TO COMPLETE.

NO RESURFACING WAS REQUIRED.

In recognition of the significant advances in reducing LOSS OF USE and OPERATIONAL EXPENSE, ACR was chosen as winner of the 2014 Restoration Industry Association Phoenix Award for Innovation in Restoration.
