Science-Based Structural Drying in Melrose, MA

After a leak, the surfaces dry fast while the structure stays wet. Framing, subfloors, and wall cavities hold moisture you cannot see. Structural drying uses measured airflow and dehumidification to bring those materials back to normal moisture levels.

A week of box fans did nothing. The pro found wet framing with infrared and dried it properly in four days.

Laura F.Hidden wet framing after leak

Wall injection drying saved our drywall. Just a few small holes behind the baseboards.

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.
