Structural Drying Services

At We Know Mold, we specialize in structural drying—the science and strategy of removing moisture trapped within the building envelope after water damage. Whether it’s from a burst pipe, roof leak, or flood event, we go beyond surface drying to target hidden moisture in floors, walls, and structural components using advanced drying equipment and proven techniques.

Our certified technicians are trained in applied structural drying (ASD) and understand the complex relationship between air movement, temperature, humidity, and building materials—thermodynamics at work. This knowledge allows us to dry structures faster, safer, and more effectively.

We start by identifying all affected areas using:

• Thermal imaging cameras to locate cold, damp areas behind surfaces
   
• Non-invasive moisture meters for accurate readings in walls, floors, and ceilings
   
• Hygrometers and thermo-hygrometers to measure temperature, humidity, and dew point
   

This helps us develop a custom drying plan based on materials, moisture levels, and air movement needs.

We use professional-grade equipment designed for deep, targeted drying, including:

• Strategically placed to increase evaporation from surfaces
   
• Designed to create optimal airflow across wet building materials
   

• Refrigerant and desiccant models depending on the environment
   
• Reduce humidity levels quickly to prevent secondary damage and mold growth
   

• Specialized mats and panel systems extract moisture from hardwood and subfloors
   
• Suction-based drying pulls water up and out without removing the flooring in many cases
   

• Small access holes allow hoses to deliver dry air into wall and ceiling cavities
   
• Safely dries behind drywall, baseboards, and cabinets with minimal disruption
   

• We monitor drying progress daily using digital logs and updated moisture readings
   
• Equipment is adjusted as needed to maintain ideal drying conditions based on psychrometric charts and material response curves
   

• Building Envelope Expertise
  We understand how moisture moves through insulation, vapor barriers, framing, and drywall—and how to dry it without causing further damage.
   
• Thermodynamics in Practice
  Our drying strategies are based on the science of air flow, heat, and humidity—not guesswork.
   
• Faster Drying Times = Less Damage
  With the right balance of heat, airflow, and dehumidification, we dry structures efficiently—preventing mold, warping, and rot.
   

At We Know Mold, structural drying isn’t an afterthought—it’s what we do best. Our knowledge, equipment, and precision ensure your property is dry to the core, not just on the surface.

Think your structure is dry? Let We Know Mold be sure. Moisture hides—our tools and training don’t miss it.
