    The Science of Structural Drying

    The Science of Structural Drying

    Drying a water-damaged building involves much more than just setting up a few fans. Professional restoration technicians study psychrometry—the science of air and moisture.

    Airflow, Temperature, and Humidity

    We manipulate three variables to dry a structure: airflow (using high-velocity air movers), temperature (warm air holds more moisture), and humidity (using industrial dehumidifiers to pull moisture out of the air).

    Moisture Mapping

    Before drying begins, we use thermal imaging cameras and penetrating moisture meters to map exactly where the water has traveled, ensuring no hidden pockets of moisture are left behind to cause mold.
