A room can look and feel dry to the touch while moisture meters still show trapped moisture inside wall cavities or under flooring.
We calculate air mover and dehumidifier placement using psychrometric formulas, not a flat per-room equipment count.
We calculate drying requirements using temperature and humidity data, not a flat per-room rule.
Our Portage, IN jobs run commercial LGR equipment sized to the calculated moisture load.
We map hidden moisture with thermal imaging before finalizing equipment placement.
Daily logs give you and your insurer verifiable proof of progress, not a technician's word.
Structural drying is a distinct phase with its own methodology, separate from initial extraction, and here's how our Portage, IN crews run it.
The assessment sets the baseline every later reading gets measured against.
We map the full extent of moisture intrusion before placing a single air mover.
Dehumidifier capacity is matched to the calculated moisture load for that specific space.
Documented logs track the numbers from day one through final verification.
Hardwood floors and built-in cabinetry require slower, more controlled drying to avoid warping.
Final verification compares closing readings against the material-specific dry standard, not a general guess.
A quick call helps us determine whether thermal imaging and full drying equipment are needed.
A technician arrives with thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters ready to assess.
We complete the psychrometric assessment and thermal scan, then provide a written drying plan and quote.
A written verification report backs the final sign-off.
"The thermal imaging found moisture behind a wall that looked completely fine from the outside. Would have missed it otherwise." — Julian R.
"They came back every single day to take readings and showed me the numbers improving. Felt like real science, not guesswork." — Monique T.
"Our hardwood floor didn't warp because they slowed the drying process down specifically for it." — Grant P.
We rely on moisture meters and thermal imaging, not appearance alone.
It's the technical foundation behind Structural Drying And Dehumidification rather than a marketing term.
Timeline depends on material type and how much moisture the thermal scan revealed.
Daily documentation is standard, giving you real data rather than just an assurance.
We adjust the drying plan whenever sensitive materials are involved.
A stall in the daily logs triggers a plan review rather than simply leaving equipment running unchanged.
Portage is within our core structural drying response zone.
