Structural drying isn't setting fans and hoping for the best. It's applied science — calculating equipment loads for room volume, material types, and ambient conditions, then monitoring daily. Our Ames technicians hold IICRC ASD certification, meaning they understand psychrometric principles, moisture behavior in building materials, and how IA's climate affects drying.
Our Structural Drying Process
Moisture Assessment
Before placing a single fan, we measure moisture content in walls, floors, and ceilings. Thermal cameras reveal moisture behind surfaces. This data determines the drying plan.
Deploy Drying Equipment
LGR dehumidifiers, air movers, and specialty systems positioned based on psychrometric calculations for Ames's climate zone. Not guesswork — science.
Daily Monitoring
Our technician visits daily with moisture meters and thermal hygrometers. Readings are logged, drying curves tracked, and equipment repositioned as materials dry.
What Ames Customers Say
"Our neighbors recommended them and now we understand why. Meticulous attention to detail and they treated our home like it was their own."
"We called expecting to wait days, but they were here the same afternoon. Fair pricing, quality work, and they kept us informed every step of the way."
"After getting several quotes, these guys stood out with their honesty and knowledge. No pressure, just straightforward advice and excellent workmanship."
Why Choose 24/7 Water Damage for Structural Drying?
ASD Certified Technicians
Our drying techs hold IICRC ASD (Applied Structural Drying) certification. They understand psychrometric science, material moisture behavior, and how IA's climate affects drying timelines.
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.
Daily Monitoring & Logging
We don't set fans and disappear. Daily site visits with calibrated instruments, logged readings, and drying curve analysis. Your insurance adjuster gets a complete documentation package.
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.

About Our Ames Structural Drying Services
Our drying process follows IICRC S500 standards. We calculate the air exchange rate for each space accounting for IA's ambient humidity, then position LGR dehumidifiers and high-velocity air movers for optimal airflow. For wall cavities, we use Injectidry systems that force air behind drywall without removal — saving demolition costs.
We've dried everything from single-room pipe bursts to entire commercial buildings in Ames. Our fleet includes LGR dehumidifiers, desiccant units, centrifugal air movers, Injectidry wall systems, and data loggers. Whatever your structure needs, we have the equipment. Call (866) 993-3605.
