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.

Service solutions

What Structural Drying Includes

Good drying starts with a moisture map and ends with readings that match dry standard. Everything in between is about controlling air, temperature, and humidity.

24/7 Emergency Structural Drying experts in Crestwood, IL

Thermal Imaging and Meter Survey

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

Containment for Faster Drying

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

Wall Cavity Injection Drying

Small holes behind baseboards let injection systems push dry air into wall cavities, which can avoid tearing out drywall that is otherwise sound.

Drying Wood Floors and Subfloors

Floor mat systems and targeted airflow dry hardwood and plywood subfloors slowly enough to limit cupping and cracking.

Proof the Structure Is Dry

Drying ends only when readings confirm the structure is dry, and you get the log for your records.

Common questions

Structural Drying Questions Answered

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?

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