February 2024 Drymatic Winners of the Month
Nilantha Arachchige – Detail Management Facility
Video of the month - February 2024
As we approach the Video Job of the Month for February, we find that Neil's restoration work in the underground carpark presents a unique and challenging scenario, but his innovative approach has proven highly effective in addressing the water damage. Tasked with drying a section of the ceiling, Neil rose to the challenge and implemented a solution that prioritised both safety and efficiency.
One notable aspect of Neil's approach is his meticulous attention to safety protocols. Recognising the potential hazards posed by working in a high-traffic area such as an underground carpark, Neil took proactive measures to ensure the safety of patrons by clearly separating the work area with tape.
In terms of technical execution, Neil's setup demonstrates ingenuity and resourcefulness. By utilising an Air Mover blowing into a Drymatic Boost Bar, Neil effectively delivers targeted airflow to the drying area. Furthermore, the strategic attachment of the 3-port ducting hoses allows for the heating and inflation of the skirting Drymatic Mats, which have been ingeniously suspended from the ceiling using containment poles. This innovative arrangement not only maximises airflow but also optimises heat distribution, ensuring thorough drying of the affected area.
Despite the challenges posed by the height of the ceiling, Neil's use of ducting hoses proves to be a game-changer, enabling the heat to travel effectively and facilitate the release of moisture from the affected area. This demonstrates Neil's ability to adapt to challenging environments and devise creative solutions to achieve optimal results.

Photo Job of the month - February 2024
Brad and Jake's restoration work in the stairwell of the property showcases a commendable level of creativity and ingenuity in addressing water damage while minimising disruption to the space's usability. Faced with the challenge of restoring an upper-level area that extends to the wall in the staircase, Brad and Jake devised a solution that maximises efficiency without compromising safety or convenience for occupants.
One notable aspect of Brad and Jake's approach is their strategic use of containment poles to rig a setup that minimises disruption to the staircase. Despite the confined space, they were able to ingeniously position the containment poles to support the equipment setup without obstructing the pathway. This demonstrates their ability to adapt to challenging environments and devise practical solutions that prioritise usability.
In terms of technical execution, Brad and Jake's setup is both innovative and effective. Utilising a rare find of a powerpoint in the stairwell, they capitalised on this resource to power a flat fan blowing into a Drymatic Boost Bar. The heated air from the Boost Bar then inflates a Drymatic Mat, which is cleverly positioned vertically along the wall using the containment poles. This setup ensures that the heat is evenly dispersed across the wall, effectively raising the surface temperature of the affected area and facilitating the release of bound water.
Overall, Brad and Jake's approach to staircase restoration exemplifies their resourcefulness and commitment to delivering high-quality results while minimising disruption. Their innovative use of equipment and thoughtful consideration for usability make them stand out as skilled professionals in the restoration industry.
