Structural Drying in Wilkes-Barre, PA Measured, Not Guessed

The visible water is gone, the carpet looks fine, and someone told you a couple of fans would finish it off. But the studs behind the drywall are still reading wet, the subfloor is holding moisture, and the house smells a little off. Structural drying is how you get the framing, subfloor, and walls truly dry before anything gets closed up.

I

Drying Inside Walls Without Demo

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

F

Floor Drying Systems

Hardwood and subfloors are dried with mats and controlled airflow to reduce cupping.

V
