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 Hobbs 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.
Calculated Drying Setup
We calculate the number of dehumidifiers and air movers needed based on room volume, material load, and NM's ambient conditions. Equipment gets placed for maximum airflow efficiency.
Track Drying Progress
Daily site visits with calibrated instruments. Pin and pinless readings, relative humidity checks, grain depression monitoring. Equipment gets moved or added based on progress.

ASD Certified Technicians
Our drying techs hold IICRC ASD (Applied Structural Drying) certification. They understand psychrometric science, material moisture behavior, and how NM'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.
Thermal Imaging Verification
We verify drying completion with thermal cameras — they reveal any remaining moisture that meters might miss. Final sweep before sign-off ensures nothing was left wet.
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.

About Our Hobbs Structural Drying Services
Most residential drying in Hobbs takes 3-5 days. Commercial properties with concrete subfloors take longer since concrete releases moisture slowly regardless of equipment. We track drying curves per material type with daily updates. Your insurance adjuster gets detailed drying logs with date-stamped readings showing when each area reached dry standard.
Insurance companies want documentation. We deliver it — daily moisture readings, equipment records, drying curves, and a final report with before-and-after data. Our Hobbs team documents in a format adjusters accept without pushback. Call (866) 993-3605 for monitored drying done right.
