STRUCTURAL dRYING FOR YOUR HOME
24/7 Emergency Restoration Services in New Orleans – Rapid Disaster Response
Why Structural Drying Matters
When water infiltrates your home—whether from flooding, leaks, or firefighting efforts—moisture can linger deep within walls, floors, and ceilings. If left unchecked, it leads to:
-
Mold & mildew growth
-
Wood rot and structural weakening
-
Musty odors
-
Electrical and HVAC damage
Our professional structural drying halts these risks by extracting hidden moisture and restoring safe humidity levels.
Our Structural Drying Process
1. Emergency Water Extraction
Rapid deployment of submersible pumps and high-capacity vacuums to remove standing water and reduce drying time immediately.
2. Moisture Detection & Mapping
Using moisture meters, hygrometers, and infrared thermal imaging, we pinpoint trapped water behind walls, under floors, and inside cavities.
3. High-Powered Drying Equipment
-
Air Movers: Create airflow to accelerate evaporation.
-
Dehumidifiers: Extract moisture from the air to maintain optimal humidity (30–50%).
-
Injecti-Dry Systems: Force heated air into wall cavities and crawlspaces for targeted drying.
4. Continuous Monitoring & Reporting
Daily moisture readings and photographic documentation ensure progress and adjust equipment placement for maximum efficiency.
5. Final Moisture Validation & Clearance
We confirm that all structural materials—wood, drywall, subflooring—have returned to safe moisture levels before demobilizing equipment.
