Structural Drying & Dehumidification Services
Complete moisture removal using industrial-grade equipment and proven drying techniques to restore your property safely and efficiently.
The Science of Proper Structural Drying
Effective structural drying is more than just removing visible water - it's about creating optimal conditions for complete moisture evaporation from all building materials. Our certified technicians understand the complex relationship between temperature, humidity, and airflow.
Studies show that materials like drywall can retain moisture for weeks if not properly dried, leading to structural weakening and mold growth. Professional structural drying can reduce drying time from weeks to just 3-5 days when performed correctly.
We follow IICRC S500 standards for water damage restoration, ensuring that your property is dried to pre-loss moisture levels. This scientific approach prevents long-term damage and protects your investment.
Our Industrial-Grade Drying Equipment
Refrigerant Dehumidifiers
Our commercial-grade refrigerant dehumidifiers can remove up to 15 gallons of moisture per day from the air. These units work most effectively in moderate temperature conditions and are essential for controlling humidity levels during the drying process.
Desiccant Dehumidifiers
For extreme moisture conditions or when working in cooler environments, our desiccant dehumidifiers provide superior moisture removal. These units can operate effectively even in low-temperature conditions where refrigerant units struggle.
High-Velocity Air Movers
Strategic placement of our high-velocity air movers creates optimal airflow patterns that promote rapid evaporation. These units move thousands of cubic feet of air per minute, dramatically accelerating the drying process.
Specialty Drying Equipment
Our arsenal includes specialty equipment like wood floor drying systems, wall cavity drying equipment, and heat injection systems for challenging drying situations.
Continuous Moisture Monitoring
Proper structural drying requires constant monitoring and adjustment. Our technicians use calibrated moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras to track progress and ensure complete drying of all affected materials.
We establish baseline moisture readings in unaffected areas and work to return all affected materials to those pre-loss levels. This scientific approach ensures thorough drying and prevents future problems.
Daily monitoring reports document our progress and provide valuable information for insurance claims. Research indicates that properly documented drying programs have a 95% success rate in preventing secondary damage.
The Structural Drying Process
Initial Assessment
We conduct thorough moisture mapping using thermal imaging and moisture meters to identify all affected areas and establish baseline readings.
Equipment Placement
Strategic placement of dehumidifiers and air movers creates optimal drying conditions. We calculate equipment needs based on room size and moisture levels.
Continuous Monitoring
Daily monitoring and adjustment ensure optimal drying progress. We track temperature, humidity, and moisture content until goals are achieved.
Why Professional Drying Matters
Many property owners attempt to dry their structures using household fans and portable dehumidifiers. While well-intentioned, this approach often fails to achieve complete drying and can lead to serious long-term problems.
Professional structural drying equipment is specifically designed to handle large volumes of moisture and create controlled drying environments. Our commercial dehumidifiers can remove 10-15 times more moisture per day than residential units.
Industry data shows that inadequate drying is responsible for over 80% of water damage claims that develop secondary issues like mold growth, structural damage, or indoor air quality problems.
By investing in professional structural drying, you protect your property value and ensure a safe, healthy environment for your family or employees.
