Structural Drying Jobs, In Their Words

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.

Straight answers

Structural Drying Questions Answered

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. A Water Damage is a free referral service that connects you with independent, licensed and insured local contractors who perform the drying.
