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

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

Controlled Drying Zones

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

Floor Drying Systems

Floor mat systems and targeted airflow dry hardwood and plywood subfloors slowly enough to limit cupping and cracking.

V

Proof the Structure Is Dry

Drying ends only when readings confirm the structure is dry, and you get the log for your records.
