Structural Drying Service in Fort Myers, FL

Initial Assessment

The first step in our structural drying process is a thorough assessment of the affected areas. Our experts arrive on-site to evaluate the extent of the water damage.We look for visible signs of water damage, including discoloration, warping, or bubbling paint.

Using moisture detection tools, we measure moisture levels in walls, floors, and ceilings to identify hidden pockets of water. This comprehensive assessment allows us to create a targeted drying plan tailored to your specific needs.

Water Extraction

Once the assessment is complete, we move on to water extraction. This step is crucial in preventing further damage and minimizing drying time.Our team uses powerful pumps and vacuums to remove standing water from the affected areas.

This equipment is designed for rapid extraction, ensuring that we can get your property dry as quickly as possible. Removing excess water helps to accelerate the drying process and reduces the risk of secondary damage, such as mold growth.

Setting Up Drying Equipment

After water extraction, we set up industrial-grade drying equipment to begin the drying process. This includes high-speed air movers and dehumidifiers specifically designed for large-scale drying.Air movers help circulate air throughout the space, promoting evaporation from surfaces and materials.

Dehumidifiers work to extract moisture from the air, creating an environment that fosters effective drying. Our experts strategically place this equipment to maximize airflow and moisture removal, ensuring that no area is overlooked.

Monitoring Progress

Monitoring is a critical part of the structural drying process. Our team regularly checks moisture levels and adjusts equipment settings as needed to ensure optimal drying conditions.

We track the drying process with advanced moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras, allowing us to detect hidden moisture that may not be visible.Regular updates keep you informed about the progress and any adjustments needed to the drying strategy.

Post-Drying Inspection

Once we believe the area is adequately dried, a thorough post-drying inspection is performed. Our experts will assess the affected materials and surfaces to ensure that all moisture has been removed.

This step is vital to confirm that your property is safe and ready for the next stages of restoration.We provide you with a detailed report outlining the findings and confirming that the drying process was successful.

Restoration Recommendations
