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.

We are a referral line, not a contractor. Calls are routed to independent local pros around Port Salerno who treat drying as a measured process with daily readings and written logs.
LGR dehumidifiers, desiccants for tough jobs, and air movers placed with purpose, not just pointed at the wall.
Daily logs track humidity and material readings so drying decisions are based on data.
Each contractor runs an independent, licensed and insured business. Confirm both with the pro before equipment is set.
Drying is usually billed by equipment per day plus monitoring visits. You get the rates and an estimated number of days in writing.

The goal is simple: get every wet material back to the moisture level of similar dry materials in the house, and prove it with readings.

Meters and thermal imaging trace water into hidden spots before drying begins.
Plastic containment creates a smaller drying chamber, so dehumidifiers work on a defined space and drying moves faster.
Small holes behind baseboards let injection systems push dry air into wall cavities, which can avoid tearing out drywall that is otherwise sound.
Floor mat systems and targeted airflow dry hardwood and plywood subfloors slowly enough to limit cupping and cracking.
Equipment stays until wet materials match dry standard readings. The final log becomes part of your insurance file.
Tell the dispatcher when the leak happened and what has been done so far.
The pro arrives with moisture meters, infrared camera, and drying gear.
The pro maps moisture, records dry standard from unaffected areas, calculates equipment needs, and gives you a written estimate.
Drying continues with daily monitoring until readings confirm the job is done.
Get readings before you rebuild.
A week of box fans did nothing. The pro found wet framing with infrared and dried it properly in four days.

Typically three to five days, longer for hardwood, plaster, or concrete.
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.
Grains per pound, or GPP, measures how much water vapor is in the air. Lowering GPP in the drying area speeds evaporation from wet materials.
It is loud and warm. Closing off the drying area helps at night.
