Structural Drying in Saranac Lake, NY That Reaches Dry Standard

How Drying Calls Turned Out

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

Wall injection drying saved our drywall. Just a few small holes behind the baseboards.

Kevin Y.Wall cavity drying

I liked seeing the daily log. Humidity numbers, wood readings, all of it. The adjuster liked it too.

Mariah S.Insurance drying documentation

Our oak floor was cupping. They used floor mats and kept the drying slow and steady. The boards flattened back out.

Common questions

Structural Drying Questions Answered

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

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.

It is loud and warm. Closing off the drying area helps at night.
