[Video] Co-ownership and water damage: The technological drying alternative
Zero demolition. Zero relocation. Total control.
In co-ownership, the traditional reflex when facing major water damage is often radical: call the insurer, cut everything down, and launch a heavy reconstruction project. An intrusive approach that paralyzes buildings and disrupts occupants’ lives for weeks.
Yet, another path is possible. In this exclusive capsule produced by Condolegal, Maître Yves Jolicœur interviews Yann Smith from Assek Technologies to present a modern, fast, and high-performance alternative: technological drying without demolition.
Why is cutting down walls no longer mandatory after a disaster?
The common belief that the presence of water requires immediate cutting of structures due to mold risks is now being challenged. In reality, microbiological growth takes a certain amount of time.
By quickly creating a controlled air movement in the affected room, the appearance of mold and fungi is stopped. This offers a window of several days for managers and experts to take action and prioritize a non-destructive drying method.
How does Assek’s drying technology work?
Backed by 46 years of evolution and proven in the ultra-rigorous healthcare sector for infection control and nosocomial disease prevention, our patented and software-monitored technological solution relies on a strict protocol:
- Global diagnosis and mapping: Water follows technical networks and can bypass floors (for example, affecting the 3rd floor without impacting the 7th). We precisely locate moisture to conduct a surgical operation, leaving nothing to chance.
- Targeted airflow: After removing the baseboards, micro-perforations at the bottom of the walls allow air to be injected directly into the heart of the structure to extract accumulated moisture.
- Real-time monitoring: Connected sensors continuously measure the moisture content of materials. This data, accessible remotely, validates the progress of the work and guarantees complete transparency for the client and the insurer.
What are the benefits for occupants and managers?
This method allows residents to continue living in their premises during the intervention, avoiding complex relocations. For optimal comfort, residents can manually adjust the fan speed for the night to sleep peacefully.
Financially, the absence of heavy reconstruction (plaster, paint) drastically reduces the overall cost of the claim, proving to be a strategic asset for the entire co-ownership ecosystem.
