FAQ

Common Structural Drying Questions

How long does structural drying take?

Most jobs take three to five days. Dense materials like hardwood, plaster, and concrete can take a week or longer.

Why can't I just use household fans and a dehumidifier?

Household units move far less air and cannot reach the low humidity levels needed to pull moisture out of framing and subfloors. Drying slowly also gives mold time to grow.

What does dry standard mean?

It is the baseline moisture reading of dry materials in your house. Wet materials are dried until they match.

What are grains per pound in water damage drying?

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.

Is the drying equipment loud?

It is loud and warm. Closing off the drying area helps at night.

Is A Water Damage the drying contractor?

No. We connect you with independent local pros. Confirm their license and insurance before work starts.
