Meters and thermal imaging trace water into hidden spots before drying begins.

Sealing off the wet area with plastic focuses the equipment and shortens drying time.

In-Wall Air Injection

Injecting dry air through small holes can dry wall cavities without full flood cuts.

FAQ

What People Ask About Drying

How long does structural drying take?

Most jobs take three to five days. Dense materials like hardwood, plaster, and concrete can take a week or longer.

Why can't I just use household fans and a dehumidifier?

Household units move far less air and cannot reach the low humidity levels needed to pull moisture out of framing and subfloors. Drying slowly also gives mold time to grow.

What does dry standard mean?

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.

What are grains per pound in water damage drying?

GPP is a measure of moisture in the air. Lower GPP means faster drying.

Is the drying equipment loud?

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.

Is A Water Damage the drying contractor?

No. We connect you with independent local pros. Confirm their license and insurance before work starts.
