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.

How Drying Calls Turned Out

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

They drilled small holes behind the baseboards and pumped dry air into the walls. We did not have to tear out any drywall.

I liked seeing the daily log. Humidity numbers, wood readings, all of it. The adjuster liked it too.

Structural Drying Questions Answered

Most jobs take three to five days. Dense materials like hardwood, plaster, and concrete can take a week or longer.

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.

Yes. Air movers and dehumidifiers are noisy and add heat. Most people can stay home, but you may want to close doors to the drying area at night.

No. A Water Damage is a free referral service that connects you with independent, licensed and insured local contractors who perform the drying.
