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

Thermal Imaging and Meter Survey

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

C

Drying Chamber Setup

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

I

Drying Inside Walls Without Demo

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

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

V

Final Readings

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

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.
