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 Tuscaloosa 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
We calculate the number of dehumidifiers and air movers needed based on room volume, material load, and AL's ambient conditions. Equipment gets placed for maximum airflow efficiency.
Daily Monitoring
Our technician visits daily with moisture meters and thermal hygrometers. Readings are logged, drying curves tracked, and equipment repositioned as materials dry.
