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 Joliet technicians hold IICRC ASD certification, meaning they understand psychrometric principles, moisture behavior in building materials, and how IL's climate affects drying.
Our Structural Drying Process
Moisture Assessment
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.
Equipment Setup
Equipment load calculated to IICRC S500 standards. Dehumidifier capacity matched to the space. Air movers positioned for optimal air circulation across wet surfaces.
Monitor & Adjust
Every day, we check moisture in all affected materials and compare to target values. Equipment gets adjusted based on what the data shows. No set-and-forget.

About Our Joliet 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 Joliet service.
