Science-Based Structural Drying in Wheeling, WV

The visible water is gone, the carpet looks fine, and someone told you a couple of fans would finish it off. But the studs behind the drywall are still reading wet, the subfloor is holding moisture, and the house smells a little off. Structural drying is how you get the framing, subfloor, and walls truly dry before anything gets closed up.

Common questions

Common Structural Drying Questions

Typically three to five days, longer for hardwood, plaster, or concrete.

Household units move far less air and cannot reach the low humidity levels needed to pull moisture out of framing and subfloors. Drying slowly also gives mold time to grow.

Dry standard is the normal moisture reading of the same type of material in an unaffected part of the home. Drying is complete when wet materials match it.

Grains per pound, or GPP, measures how much water vapor is in the air. Lowering GPP in the drying area speeds evaporation from wet materials.

It is loud and warm. Closing off the drying area helps at night.

No. A Water Damage is a free referral service that connects you with independent, licensed and insured local contractors who perform the drying.
