We like to talk about tes but our customers do it better

"...After 3 other drying companies failed to get it dry, H2O Drying Solutions using TES and E-Tes got the job done!"

"I have been drying structures in the conventional manner (dehumidifiers and air movers ) over the past 5 years, when I was introduced to the TES System I was skeptical. After visiting Jeremy Reets and seeing TES on the job I was convinced that it works. Since purchasing the TES unit and several E-TES units I was able to persue jobs that I would not have been able to dry using the conventional method. Using TES and E-TES units I was able to dry the concrete slabs of 7 condo units that had been wet for over 15 years back to ATSM standards. After 3 other drying companies failed to get it dry, H2O Drying Solutions using TES and E-Tes got the job done!"

“Using the TES has made us not only remarkable, but far superior”

Northern Arizona University had a three story apartment fully involved water damage.  The old “I started the bathtub and fell asleep” routine.  Six student apartments were nearly “immersed” wet from floor to ceiling.  Their 10 year usual restoration company was not available and they decided to give TG’s the chance to prove we were as good as we said.  The facilities manager told us there probably was not enough amps to cover the 15-20 dehumidifiers and 40 air movers we would need to dry this structure.  Did I mention they had a double-double ¾ inch dry wall construction?

  We then wheeled in the TES.  We explained that this latest technology was faster and more efficient for this kind of water damage.

The NAU officials had already reserved rooms at local hotels for three weeks for the 24 displaced students in anticipation of the believed needed demolition and rebuild.

Here’s the Money Shot: 43 hours after we set the TES, the structure was, are you ready for this, COMPLETELY DRY!  The demolition needed was, OK, sit down, a couple venting holes in each ceiling and…well…that was it!

The University officials were in such disbelief that they opened up more holes to “be sure” we had done our job. They called in an CIH to check air quality and he passed us with flying colors.

We prepared a comparison invoice with our bill and an imaginary bill as if we had employed conventional drying methods.  The TES drying system saved $12,000.00 in demolition, repair and replacement; but we still made more profit.

"I dried a 6000 sq. ft. reception center with 20' ceilings, in 48 hours with my one tes system."

"The reception center had a frozen pipe in the ceiling that burst.  The ceiling collapsed, but not before most of the water had come down the inside of the walls, flooding all the floors.  By containing the heat of TES to the floors first and then injecting hot air into the wall cavities we focused on the major areas first.  The benefit of drying the floor and walls first was the undamaged ceiling dried almost completely on its own as the heat would rise.  I had the center completely dry in two days, after after which the collapsed ceilings were replaced and painted. Five days after the initial flooding, the center hosted three consecutive wedding receptions, preventing a loss of income of $50,000.00."

“The TES has turned out to be one of the best tools we have for drying.”

It has produced some dramatic results and has been a welcome addition to our drying business.  The first time we used our TES was in a home that had a fresh water break on the main floor.  There was 650 sq/f of wet carpet and ceramic tile on the main floor and 2200 sq/f of wet carpet in the basement.  Most all of the 2200 sq/f basement’s sheet rock ceiling and wall were wet. Using one Tex box on the main floor and 4 Tex boxes in the basement, we were able to dry the whole house in 34 hours cutting only a small hole in the ceiling to duct air.

We saved the insurance company approximately $3,500.00 in reconstruction cost alone.  The only limitation would be if it is too large for small jobs.  Setting up the system can be overkill and inconvenient for a one or two room loss.

That’s where the E-TES fits in.  It works great on smaller jobs, with little drop off in performance but in a smaller package than the TES.  We think it works so well we plan on having one on every water truck.

Thanks to Bridgepoint and Jeremy Reets we continue to be the leader in NE Kansas.

"... It took 9 days to complete the dry down. In July 2006, the exact same area flooded ... we used the TES Unit and dried it out in 2 days."

"We completed a full basement water loss in 2005 using refrigerant dehus and air movers, the basement had difficult to dry wood finished walls, insulated, etc. It took 9 days to complete the dry down. In July 2006, the exact same area flooded due to a broken pipe, we used the TES Unit and dried it out in 2 days. We even saved the pad we installed in 2005. The total process including reinstallation and c/c was completed in 4 days."

"By far, the most impressive benefit of using TES, is the speed in which it dries."

"We are getting our customers homes dry two or three times faster than before we started using TES.  We took all the classes and pioneered top-down drying in our area, but we constantly had problems with the customers turning off the fans and dehumidifiers after a few days because of the constant noise.  TES is so quiet and fast that this doesn't happen on jobs with TES."

"Our TES unit dried a $1.2 million home in Michigan, in the cold of December, without any heat from the home's furnace system."

"The home flooded on all three levels saturating floors, walls, and ceiling.  We saved tens of thousands of dollars in drying the hardwood, tile, and marble floors without damage.  Even in the upper bathroom where the frozen pipe burst we saved the cabinets, floors, and plaster walls without repair.  Very little repair was needed to the walls, ceilings, and floors throughout the home.  Most of the home was dry in three days, but because there was no heat available in the home, we kept TES on the job for eleven days, just to keep the home heated."

"Using TES, we saved all the complex wall assemblies and related business interruption headaches and expense."

"A 6,500 sq. ft. fire station flooded for several hours when the storm drains couldn't handle the extreme
storm run-off.  Walls were 5/8" on both sides covered with masonite sheathing and fiberglass insulation was
in the outside walls.  We couldn't control the environment and drying chamber with fire trucks coming in and out, 24/7 availability, and foot traffic coming in and out of the side rooms and outside.  But we still dried the station in three days and after using TES more we could shave that down to 1.5 to 2 days."'

“The floors and walls were in an acceptable condition, 14 to 18 days prior to what would have been expected.”

Our first application of TES was at a school in Hull that had suffered rain water ingress during the flooding in July 2007.

Up to 4 TES units were deployed at the school, sometimes working together and sometimes separately.  Overall the school buildings covered 50,000 sq. mtrs including 2 gyms.

The 4 TES units were set up to dry the first of 17 blocks.  Each block consists of 5 classrooms, connecting corridors, 2 toilet blocks and 2 stair wells.  TES was installed with initial readings showing the floor at between 999 and 750 REL and with humidity readings in excess of 95%RH.  Following 48 hrs readings showed readings down to 176- 240 REL and 65%RH.

Compared with “conventional” drying systems, TES showed the foors and walls were in an acceptable condition, 14 to 18 days prior to what would have been expected.
