Ask for proof of license and insurance before work begins.
You will see equipment day rates and an estimated drying timeline before setup.

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.
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.

The pro arrives with moisture meters, infrared camera, and drying gear.

Equipment runs with daily readings and adjustments until every material reaches dry standard, then it is removed and the log is handed over.
Closing up wet framing is how mold starts.

Kevin Y.Wall cavity dryingI liked seeing the daily log. Humidity numbers, wood readings, all of it. The adjuster liked it too.
Mariah S.Insurance drying documentationOur oak floor was cupping. They used floor mats and kept the drying slow and steady. The boards flattened back out.

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.
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.
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.
