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

Finding All the Wet Areas

Pin and pinless meters plus an infrared camera show exactly where water traveled, including under cabinets, inside walls, and across the subfloor.

C

Containment for Faster Drying

Sealing off the wet area with plastic focuses the equipment and shortens drying time.

I

Wall Cavity Injection Drying

Small holes behind baseboards let injection systems push dry air into wall cavities, which can avoid tearing out drywall that is otherwise sound.

F

Hardwood and Subfloor Drying

Hardwood and subfloors are dried with mats and controlled airflow to reduce cupping.

V

Proof the Structure Is Dry

Equipment stays until wet materials match dry standard readings. The final log becomes part of your insurance file.

Common questions

Common Structural Drying Questions

Typically three to five days, longer for hardwood, plaster, or concrete.

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.

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.

GPP is a measure of moisture in the air. Lower GPP means faster drying.

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

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