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 Mankato crews monitor daily until standard.
Our Structural Drying Process
Moisture Mapping
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
Equipment load calculated to IICRC S500 standards. Dehumidifier capacity matched to the space. Air movers positioned for optimal air circulation across wet surfaces.
Track Drying Progress
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.
