Using our multi-patented system, we create small access points in the affected areas, allowing us to introduce ultra-dry heated air at different points, depths, and angles. We are able to control the heat and the pressure of the air our system produces depending on the type of coring (balsa, foam, etc.).
It is important to note that we remove less than 2% of the coring material. With the minimal material that we remove, we replace it with (1) one of (3) three marine grade fillers.
The system is monitored and adjusted until all areas meet acceptable Surveyor Standards. NO changes are made to the vessels structural design.
We are finding our solution takes typically costs about half the price of the lowest estimate you would receive for the conventional cut-out and replace method.
Again, noting there is no change to the structural design AND the re-sale value of the vessel is not affected with our non-destructive system. We are a restoration service, which is different than the convential repairs.
The drying process varies case by case as you can imagine. However, we have never heard of a “tear out and replace” project being competitive with the time our process takes.
Our system has NEVER failed!
However, we will direct customers to a better alternative when our system is not the best solution.
Our system is backed by over 14 years of experience, with thousands of successful applications.
Wet, rot, and delamination are all distinct issues, each requiring the proper investigation and approach.
This is a restoration process, so there is no loss to the structural integrity of your vessel.
A survey is not required, but it can be helpful. What we need are accurate moisture meter readings and the boat properly “mapped out”. This allows us to trace the path of water intrusion and assess the severity of the problem effectively.
Our units are fully mobile and can be set up anywhere in the world!
