Straight answers

Common Structural Drying Questions

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

Consumer equipment is too weak to dry framing quickly enough to prevent mold.

It is the baseline moisture reading of dry materials in your house. Wet materials are dried until they match.

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. We connect you with independent local pros. Confirm their license and insurance before work starts.
