FAQ

Common Structural Drying Questions

How long does structural drying take?

Typically three to five days, longer for hardwood, plaster, or concrete.

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

Consumer equipment is too weak to dry framing quickly enough to prevent mold.

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?

Grains per pound, or GPP, measures how much water vapor is in the air. Lowering GPP in the drying area speeds evaporation from wet materials.

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. A Water Damage is a free referral service that connects you with independent, licensed and insured local contractors who perform the drying.
