What is Professional Structural Drying?


You cannot simply "air out" a water-damaged structure. In a humid Jekyll Island, 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.

Jekyll Island, GA Insights: Population,
Zip Codes, Influence, and Service Areas

It was long used seasonally by indigenous peoples of the region. The Guale and the Mocama, the indigenous peoples of the area when Europeans first reached the area, were killed or forced to leave by the English of the Province of Carolina and their native allies, and by raids by French pirates. Plantations were developed on the island during the British colonial period. A few structures still standing are made of tabby, a coastal building material using crushed oyster shells. The island was developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It was evacuated during World War II by order of the US government. In 1947 the state of Georgia acquired all the property, for security and preservation.
