Structural Drying Jobs, In Their Words

A week of box fans did nothing. The pro found wet framing with infrared and dried it properly in four days.

Laura F.Hidden wet framing after leak

They drilled small holes behind the baseboards and pumped dry air into the walls. We did not have to tear out any drywall.
