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 Spring Creek who treat drying as a measured process with daily readings and written logs.
Low-grain refrigerant dehumidifiers pull moisture to levels standard units cannot reach. Desiccant units handle cold spaces and dense materials. Air movers are placed at specific angles to sweep moisture off wet surfaces.
Daily logs track humidity and material readings so drying decisions are based on data.
Ask for proof of license and insurance before work begins.
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.
Sealing off the wet area with plastic focuses the equipment and shortens drying time.
Injecting dry air through small holes can dry wall cavities without full flood cuts.
Hardwood and subfloors are dried with mats and controlled airflow to reduce cupping.
Drying ends only when readings confirm the structure is dry, and you get the log for your records.
Call +1-877-637-9008 and explain what got wet, when, and whether water has already been extracted. That tells dispatch you need a drying specialist.
A local contractor calls back with an arrival time and brings meters, a thermal camera, and an initial set of drying equipment.
You get a moisture map, a dry standard baseline, and a written drying plan with costs.
Equipment runs with daily readings and adjustments until every material reaches dry standard, then it is removed and the log is handed over.
Get readings before you rebuild.
We had fans running for a week after a leak and it still smelled. The drying contractor found wet studs with a thermal camera and had them dry in four days with real equipment.

Typically three to five days, longer for hardwood, plaster, or concrete.
Consumer equipment is too weak to dry framing quickly enough to prevent mold.
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.
