direct-it in adapter or turbo vent in for wall drying?

[tim]

which one is best to dry a small section of wall that is damp 4 feet up and about 8 feet across? wall is sheetrock with plaster and paint over it and studs fairly close together.

Injectidry??

I like the way the direct it works on walls. I would go with it on the job you describe.

Octi-Dry all the way!

Good call Craig. I forgot about the Octi Dry. Couple that with an E-TES and you're golden.

I was told the octidry was discontinued.

 

[packfancjh]

Who told you that?

I would look at the Viking PDS-21 pressurized wall drying system.

It has MUCH higher pressure than a typical airmover (106" Pressure of Warm Air).
Higher power (9.3 Amp Motor).
Smaller holes in the baseboard - 1/2" Hoses.

At ~ $500, it also has a quick payback with insurance-paid rates.

Heat would definitely speed the process along if the wall is plaster.

There are so many ways to skin a cat, we have many options, turbo vents, Octidry, injectidry, Adaptidry & the Airwolf for structural drying.

We can also use the Intercepter HEPA with the Injectidry or the Adaptidry attached to airscrubber when the cavity has questionable microbial activity and they don't want to remove the materials.

If you get heat in the cavity and it will dry.

Be sure to do a thorough job of monitoring with penetrating meters to ensure dryness.
