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 South Portland 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
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.

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.
ASD Certified Technicians
Our drying techs hold IICRC ASD (Applied Structural Drying) certification. They understand psychrometric science, material moisture behavior, and how ME'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.

About Our South Portland Structural Drying Services
Our drying process follows IICRC S500 standards. We calculate the air exchange rate for each space accounting for ME'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.
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 South Portland service.
