The single most common mistake after water damage is drying too slowly โ or assuming visible surfaces are dry when moisture has penetrated deeper into structural materials. Our technicians use moisture meters, thermal imaging, and psychrometric calculations to design a drying system that works.
We use LGR (Low-Grain Refrigerant) dehumidifiers โ the industry's most efficient units โ combined with strategically positioned air movers to create a controlled drying environment. We revisit daily, adjust equipment positioning as the structure dries, and log all readings.
Proper documentation during the drying process is also critical for insurance claims. Our daily moisture logs and equipment placement records provide the adjuster with proof that drying was performed to professional standards.
