New “TES” unit can dry a water-damaged structure in 30 hours or less.

Houston, TX (PRWEB) July 31, 2006 -- OneSource Cleaning Supply offers a new high-speed structural drying system that will dramatically change the restoration business and increase industry profits. Homes flooded by broken pipes or natural disasters can be dry in 30 hours or less with the help of a Thermal Energy System (“TES” ) unit, a remarkably efficient and effective machine. This new product is now available for industry purchase from OneSource Cleaning Supply.

With the introduction of the Interlink Supply “TES” unit, the industry has moved into a new era. The “TES” is one of the latest technologies in the flood and water restoration industry. It is revolutionizing storm recovery, as it can work at a time when no other method can. The “TES” runs with a total of just 33 amps, meaning that with a small 40 amp generator, you can dry a house in one day, even if the power is out. In the wake of damaging storms such as Katrina and Rita, this new method is invaluable.

Homeowners, insurance companies, and restoration professionals are thrilled by the introduction of this structural drying method. Since the start of 2006, many insurance providers now accept the “TES” unit and encourage its use. Information on billing out the “TES” system is already available in Exactimate and the Blue Book. This gives the unit credibility and it gives price assurance to the insurance adjusters.

The “TES” method produces heat, which is transferred from the system to the structure through “TEX” boxes. The boxes are equipped with fans to move the heat directly where it is needed. As surfaces within the structure heat up, they expel moisture at a rapid pace. The air in the structure is heated and expands, absorbing the moisture being expelled by the heated surfaces. The humid air is then forced out of the structure by a thermostat controlled exhaust system. The moisture continues to be forced into the air and the air continues to be cycled out of the structure until the structure is completely dry.

In most cases, this process takes less than 30 hours. This is about 70% faster than conventional drying methods. OneSource representative Greg Hanslip explains, “A family can move back into their home within two days, without having the carpet and walls ripped out, and before mold sets in. This is truly a wonderful machine.”
