Chuck Dewald Visits Aladdin's Restorative Drying!
On August 24th and 25th, 2004 Aladdin's hosted a Vortex Drying System class taught by Chuck Dewald, the creator of the Vortex Drying System. This class was geared for insurance professionals and included topics such as structural drying, extraction methods, moisture mapping, hardwood floor drying, psychrometry, grain depression, determining dehumidification requirements, as well as sizing and placement of air movers. In attendance were adjusters from State Farm Insurance & Citizens Insurance.
Chuck Dewald was also featured in an article entitled Mold Liability Nags Restorers Of Wet Houses published by The Wall Street Journal August 24, 2004.
Gary Slowinski, a Property Re-inspector at Citizens Insurance, wrote the following letter that was sent to all the Citizens adjusters in Michigan. A copy of this letter was also sent to Chuck Dewald at the Vortex Drying System School. The letter has been reproduced with permission of the Vortex Drying System Network.

“There have been some major changes in Water Restoration… We highly recommend, if you haven’t attended one of the Advanced Drying Schools (Vortex) that you do so. We do now and in the future will require Water Contractors to provide us with a record of your daily readings to determine if your system is working. Psychrometric charts are required… I am certified by IICRC and have attended the Vortex Drying School in TN. A new requirement for water contractors will be to supply us with any and all certifications for people that do the work.”
