Science-Based Structural Drying in Lexington, SC

The visible water is gone, the carpet looks fine, and someone told you a couple of fans would finish it off. But the studs behind the drywall are still reading wet, the subfloor is holding moisture, and the house smells a little off. Structural drying is how you get the framing, subfloor, and walls truly dry before anything gets closed up.

What Drying Customers Said

We had fans running for a week after a leak and it still smelled. The drying contractor found wet studs with a thermal camera and had them dry in four days with real equipment.

Laura F.Hidden wet framing after leak

They drilled small holes behind the baseboards and pumped dry air into the walls. We did not have to tear out any drywall.

Kevin Y.Wall cavity drying

I liked seeing the daily log. Humidity numbers, wood readings, all of it. The adjuster liked it too.

Mariah S.Insurance drying documentation

Our oak floor was cupping. They used floor mats and kept the drying slow and steady. The boards flattened back out.
