Structural Drying Services

Structural drying services are an essential part of the restoration process after water damage, such as floods or leaks, to ensure that the affected building’s structural components are thoroughly dried and restored. Here’s an overview of what structural drying services entail:

• Assessment: Our professional restoration team will conduct a thorough assessment of the affected area to determine the extent of water damage and identify the structural components that require drying. This assessment helps us create a tailored drying plan for your specific situation.
• Moisture Detection: Specialized moisture detection equipment, such as moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras, may be used to identify hidden moisture pockets within your building’s structural elements, including walls, floors, ceilings, and support beams.
• Water Extraction: If there is still standing water present, it will be extracted using pumps, wet vacuums, or other appropriate water extraction equipment. This step is crucial to remove excess water before the drying process can effectively begin.
• Drying Equipment Setup: Industrial-grade dehumidifiers, air movers, and other drying equipment may be necessary. We will strategically place them to create optimal airflow and moisture removal. The setup will vary depending on the specific needs of the building and the materials affected.
• Moisture Evaporation: The drying equipment will work to evaporate moisture from the affected structural components. Air movers promote airflow, while dehumidifiers remove moisture from the air, speeding up the drying process.
• Monitoring and Adjustments: Throughout the drying process, we will monitor moisture levels using moisture meters and hygrometers. This allows the restoration team to track progress and make necessary adjustments to the equipment setup for optimal drying efficiency.
• Structural Monitoring: Structural components, such as walls and floors, will be closely monitored for signs of warping, cracking, or other damage that may occur due to prolonged exposure to moisture. If any issues are detected, we will take the appropriate measures to address them promptly.
• Documentation and Reporting: The restoration team will document the drying process, including the equipment used, drying times, and moisture levels. This documentation is important for insurance purposes and future reference.
• Restoration and Repairs: Once the structural components are thoroughly dried, any necessary repairs or restoration work can be initiated. This may include replacing damaged materials, repairing structural integrity, and addressing any cosmetic issues.
