Our structural drying process is a detailed and methodical approach to ensure complete moisture removal and restoration.

1. Assessment and Inspection:  The first step in our structural drying process is a thorough assessment and inspection of the affected area. Our IICRC-certified technicians identify all areas impacted by water damage using advanced moisture detection tools, including infrared cameras and moisture meters. This initial inspection is crucial for mapping out the extent of the damage and developing a tailored drying plan to effectively address the specific needs of the structure.
2. Water Removal:  After the assessment, the next step is the swift removal of standing water using industrial-grade extraction equipment. Efficient water removal significantly reduces drying time and mitigates further water damage. By employing high-powered pumps and vacuums, we ensure the bulk of the water is extracted from the affected areas to prepare the structure for the subsequent stages of the drying process.
3. Evaporation: Once the standing water is removed, the focus shifts to evaporation. High-velocity air movers are strategically placed throughout the affected area to enhance airflow and accelerate the evaporation of moisture from building materials such as drywall, wood, and concrete. This step is essential for eliminating residual moisture that can seep deep into materials and potentially cause long-term damage.
4. Dehumidification: Dehumidification is a critical component of our structural drying process. We deploy industrial-grade dehumidifiers to extract moisture from the air, reducing humidity levels and preventing secondary damage such as mold growth and material deterioration. By maintaining optimal humidity levels, we create an environment conducive to thorough and efficient drying.
5. Monitoring and Documentation: Throughout the structural drying process, continuous monitoring and documentation are imperative. Our technicians regularly check moisture levels using precision instruments to track the progress of the drying process. Detailed documentation of moisture readings, atmospheric conditions, and equipment usage is maintained to ensure transparency and provide a comprehensive record for insurance purposes. This meticulous approach guarantees that the structure is fully dried and restored to its pre-damage condition.
