Drying a structure correctly isn't about running a few fans and hoping — it's a calculated process based on temperature, humidity, and airflow readings.
Our Portland, ME drying plans start with thermal imaging to map exactly where moisture is hiding.
We calculate drying requirements using temperature and humidity data, not a flat per-room rule.
Our Portland, ME jobs run commercial LGR equipment sized to the calculated moisture load.
Thermal imaging cameras reveal moisture patterns behind walls and under flooring that aren't visible to the eye.
Moisture readings are logged daily throughout the Structural Drying And Dehumidification job so progress is measurable, not assumed.
Structural drying is a distinct phase with its own methodology, separate from initial extraction, and here's how our Portland, ME crews run it.
Psychrometric formulas determine exactly how much equipment capacity the space requires.
We map the full extent of moisture intrusion before placing a single air mover.
Equipment is placed according to calculated airflow paths, not an even spread across the room.
Documented logs track the numbers from day one through final verification.
We adjust drying speed for sensitive materials like hardwood and cabinetry to prevent secondary damage.
The job closes only once moisture readings match the documented dry standard for each material type.
We ask enough to bring the right instruments on the first visit.
Equipment for psychrometric assessment is standard on every drying dispatch.
You'll see the calculated plan and cost before drying equipment goes down.
The job closes only once documented readings confirm the structure is fully dry.
"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.
Visual appearance doesn't confirm dryness — instrument readings are needed to catch what's not visible.
It's a calculated approach using temperature and humidity data to determine exact equipment needs, rather than guessing.
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.
We reassess the plan, since stalled readings usually mean equipment placement or capacity needs adjusting, not just more time.
If your property is in or near Portland, a crew can typically respond the same day.
