Hi, Clay was super helpful and knowledgeable even though he knew I was out
of his region and would get the business! Looks like the one to trust if
you’re lucky enough that he’s in your region.

@aaaflooddrying I am not sure I understand your question, could you be a
little more specific? Thanx Clay.

What type of tape are you using?
December 31, 2011 @ 1:16 pm
@Jrenglehorn When taping the poly down on the wet floor we use painters
tape. We usually buy it from Home Depot in a large pack. It does not stick
really great to the poly but it avoids damaging the finish on the hardwood.
If I have to tape anything to the poly like feeder or trunk lines from the
Injectidry System then we use Preservation Tape from DR Shrink. The
Preservation tape sticks to poly better than anything else. Good luck on
your hardwood floor drying projects. Clay

drying a gymnasium floor….high urathane gloss….does the urathane need
to be sanded off before any mat type system will work….the floor has a
sleeper under it but the damage is 25 to 30 ft from any perimeter…the
adjuster wants it dryed without making any imperfections to the hardwood..
looking for suggestions….thanks

If the floor will not breathe it is unlikely that an Injectidry System
alone will work. If the adjuster is calling the shots have him sign a
liability release, seems he is the one in charge of drying the floor. He
should then be the one holding the liability. Pull one row of boards on
either side of the floor and push and pull warm dry air through the floor.
Could use ELE’s to heat from the top while pulling air through the bottom.
One way or another air has to move. Good luck. Clay

Sir, Nice video. Great deal of info. I wondering if you have had any work
using it on walls or ceilings. This is how I have been using it. Would like
to see how you go about setting it up. Just for some tips or a diffent way
to make it work better or easier. Thanks for the great video.

Great video, when using this on a wall or ceiling what is the best way to
dry with the injecitadry system? Pushing hot air in to the void or Pulling
air? And should a turbo fan be point into that wall are to make the vapor
barrer on the affected surfaces lift the moisture to be changed into vapor?
Hopping to hear your thoughts on this type of way. Thanks

The Injectidry system is a very versatile piece of equipment. It can be
used in many ways. There are so many ways to use it that I will not say it
is limited to this or that. It really depends what you are facing for a
drying challenge. We do however dry alot of wet hardwood floors. Good luck
on your water damage drying projects. Clay

Thanks, and yes sir you are right. Great to get tip from other pros in this
field, was may be some tip you do for walls behind kitchen cabinets or the
flooring under the cabinets. maybe just video, thanks again and great
video’s.

If you look carefuly in this video, I have installed the Injectidry System
on the wet hardwood floor under the cabinets. This was done by carefuly
removing the kick plate with a Multimaster. We then slid the vac panel
under the cabinet. We were able to dry all the wet wood floors under the
cabinets with this method of drying. Good Luck Clay

Most of the water damaged hardwood floors that I have to deal with are not
on a concrete slab. If the wet hardwood floor is on a slab, this does
complicate the problem of drying the wood floor. The wood floor will
usually dry before the slab is dry. How the each particular wood floor and
subfloor system is constructed will determine just how the wet floor should
be dried. It is a complicated situation. Good luck with your water damaged
hardwood floor drying job. Clay

We had a Reverse Osmosis system under the kitchen sink burst. Water got
under an area of the adjacent family room (with hardwood floor). We noticed
some cupping this morning. A local company with an Injectidry system will
be here in an hour or two. We have 3 dehumidifiers going but expect the
Injectidry to save the floor. Thanks to Injectidry for their guidance.

Actually the name of my business is AAA Flood Drying. We do own, and use
the Injectidry System. I am glad I was able to help you out with your wet
hardwood floor drying situation. Clay

This is an update. Thanks to guidance from Clay at AAA Flood Drying we knew
to ask local restoration companies whether they had and knew how to use
Injectidry systems. The crew had the impressive Injectidry on the hardwood
floor and big dehumidifiers and fans here and running 7 hours after I
called them (about 32 hours after the water damage). With the house
temperature turned up to about 90, it took 3.5 days to dry the house out
and save the hardwood floor. Thanks Clay!

I called Clay from South Florida early on a Sunday morning. Knowing he was
not able to help me because of the distance (Boston to Florida), Clay still
took the time to significantly help me and point me in the right direction.
It was apparent he was extremely knowledgeable about wood flooring / water
damage and was obvious he is a wood floor restoration expert. I only wish
we had someone like Clay in my area. Thanks again for your consideration
and time!
