Structural drying is how you get the framing, subfloor, and walls truly dry before anything gets closed up.

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.

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