What is Professional Structural Drying?


You cannot simply "air out" a water-damaged structure. In a humid Druid Hills, GA climate, opening a window might even make things worse. Professional structural drying is a scientific process:

  • 1. Water Extraction: First, we use powerful truck-mounted vacuums to extract all visible, standing water.
  • 2. Moisture Mapping: We use specialized tools like thermal imaging cameras and non-invasive moisture meters to find exactly where the water has traveled and how saturated your materials are.
  • 3. Air Movement: We strategically place high-velocity industrial air movers (not just fans) to create a vortex. This pushes the trapped moisture from the materials (like drywall) into the air.
  • 4. Dehumidification: This is the most important part. We use large, commercial-grade dehumidifiers to pull that newly-released moisture out of the air. This cycle rapidly lowers the humidity, allowing the materials to dry.
  • 5. Daily Monitoring: We don't just guess. Our technicians return daily to take new moisture readings and reposition equipment, ensuring we meet our drying goals without over-drying or missing a spot.




Why Can't I Just Use Fans?


Using fans without a dehumidifier in a water-damaged home is like trying to dry a towel in a sauna. You'll just be circulating wet, humid air, which is the perfect recipe for a major mold remediation problem in 1-2 days.
