Structural Drying Services

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

Moisture Mapping

Meters and thermal imaging trace water into hidden spots before drying begins.

C

Drying Chamber Setup

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

Wall Cavity Injection Drying

Small holes behind baseboards let injection systems push dry air into wall cavities, which can avoid tearing out drywall that is otherwise sound.

Drying Wood Floors and Subfloors

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

Final Readings

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

GPP is a measure of moisture in the air. Lower GPP means faster drying.
