Every material dries differently. Drywall faster than hardwood, hardwood faster than concrete, and concrete holds moisture for weeks. A proper drying plan accounts for all of it — different equipment per room, different monitoring per material, daily adjustments as conditions change. That's what our Metairie ASD-certified technicians do.
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.
Deploy Drying Equipment
Equipment load calculated to IICRC S500 standards. Dehumidifier capacity matched to the space. Air movers positioned for optimal air circulation across wet surfaces.
Daily Monitoring
Daily site visits with calibrated instruments. Pin and pinless readings, relative humidity checks, grain depression monitoring. Equipment gets moved or added based on progress.

About Our Metairie Structural Drying Services
Our drying process follows IICRC S500 standards. We calculate the air exchange rate for each space accounting for LA'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 Metairie. 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.
