The work involved

Inside a Professional Structural Drying Job

Good drying starts with a moisture map and ends with readings that match dry standard. Everything in between is about controlling air, temperature, and humidity.

M

Thermal Imaging and Meter Survey

Meters and thermal imaging trace water into hidden spots before drying begins.

C

Controlled Drying Zones

Plastic containment creates a smaller drying chamber, so dehumidifiers work on a defined space and drying moves faster.

I

Drying Inside Walls Without Demo

Injecting dry air through small holes can dry wall cavities without full flood cuts.

F

Common questions

What People Ask About Drying

Consumer equipment is too weak to dry framing quickly enough to prevent mold.

Dry standard is the normal moisture reading of the same type of material in an unaffected part of the home. Drying is complete when wet materials match it.

Grains per pound, or GPP, measures how much water vapor is in the air. Lowering GPP in the drying area speeds evaporation from wet materials.

Yes. Air movers and dehumidifiers are noisy and add heat. Most people can stay home, but you may want to close doors to the drying area at night.

No. A Water Damage is a free referral service that connects you with independent, licensed and insured local contractors who perform the drying.
