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.

The work involved

Structural Drying Services

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 Oakdale, MN

Moisture Mapping

Pin and pinless meters plus an infrared camera show exactly where water traveled, including under cabinets, inside walls, and across the subfloor.

Drying Chamber Setup

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

In-Wall Air Injection

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

Floor Drying Systems

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

Final Readings

Equipment stays until wet materials match dry standard readings. The final log becomes part of your insurance file.

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.
