Emergency response

How the first visit for emergency structural drying works

The first visit is about stopping the damage, not finishing the job. Controlled drying of walls, floors, framing, and subfloors using air movers and dehumidifiers, tracked with daily moisture readings.

Once the emergency is under control, the work continues as standard structural drying, with documentation for your insurer at every step.

  • Size dehumidification to the space
  • Place air movers to dry materials, not just air
  • Log readings daily until dry standards are met
