Structural Drying

How we handle it

Our Process, Step by Step

1. Moisture mapping. We probe and scan every affected material to map exactly what's wet and how deep — the drying plan is built from data, not guesses.
2. Equipment placement. Refrigerant and desiccant dehumidifiers sized to the space and saturation level, with air movers driving airflow across every wet surface.
3. Daily monitoring. We return to take readings and reposition equipment. Drying isn't set-and-forget — conditions change as materials release moisture.
4. Verification. Final readings against dry standard for each material type. You get the numbers, not just our word.
5. Documentation. The full drying log — readings, dates, equipment — ready for your insurance file.

Why Fast Action Matters

• Wet framing rots. It doesn't announce itself — it just quietly loses structural integrity over months.
• Trapped moisture under flooring buckles hardwood, delaminates laminate, and grows mold you'll smell before you see.
• Insurance adjusters increasingly require professional drying logs; DIY drying with no documentation weakens claims.
• In Tampa's humidity, improper drying can actually take LONGER than doing nothing — you're fighting 80% outdoor humidity with a $40 fan.
