After water damage, your structure needs to get truly dry — not surface-dry. Drywall can feel dry while holding 40% moisture inside. Subfloor looks fine while plywood is saturated underneath. We use pin meters, pinless meters, and thermal imaging because instruments don't lie. Our Akron crews monitor daily until standard.
Our Structural Drying Process
Moisture Mapping
We map every affected area with pin meters, pinless meters, and thermal imaging. This gives us baseline moisture readings to track against and identifies hidden wet areas.
Calculated Drying Setup
We calculate the number of dehumidifiers and air movers needed based on room volume, material load, and OH's ambient conditions. Equipment gets placed for maximum airflow efficiency.
Daily Monitoring
Our technician visits daily with moisture meters and thermal hygrometers. Readings are logged, drying curves tracked, and equipment repositioned as materials dry.

Why Choose 24/7 Water Damage for Structural Drying?
Calculated Equipment Loads
Equipment placement based on room volume, material types, and ambient conditions — not guesswork. We use psychrometric calculations to size the job correctly from day one.
Large Equipment Fleet
We own enough dehumidifiers and air movers to handle multiple concurrent drying jobs across Akron. No waiting for equipment delivery — it's staged and ready to deploy.
Specialty Drying Systems
Wall cavities, hardwood floors, concrete slabs — each needs different drying approaches. We have Injectidry systems, mat drying setups, and desiccant units for special cases.
ASD Certified Technicians
Our drying techs hold IICRC ASD (Applied Structural Drying) certification. They understand psychrometric science, material moisture behavior, and how OH's climate affects drying timelines.

About Our Akron Structural Drying Services
Data drives everything. Data loggers in affected rooms record temperature, humidity, and grain depression continuously. Pin meters measure moisture inside walls. Pinless meters check floors and ceilings non-destructively. Thermal hygrometers verify ambient conditions. All readings get logged against targets. When a material stalls, we troubleshoot — direct cavity drying, repositioned dehumidifiers.
Proper structural drying prevents mold, warping, delamination, and lingering odors. Cutting it short is the most common mistake from companies rushing. We don't sign off until readings prove every material is at or below dry standard. Call (866) 993-3605 for Akron service.
