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 Cedar Rapids crews monitor daily until standard.
Our Structural Drying Process
Baseline Readings
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.
Equipment Setup
LGR dehumidifiers, air movers, and specialty systems positioned based on psychrometric calculations for Cedar Rapids's climate zone. Not guesswork — science.
Monitor & Adjust
Our technician visits daily with moisture meters and thermal hygrometers. Readings are logged, drying curves tracked, and equipment repositioned as materials dry.
