Structural Drying in Denver
Drying a building is more than running fans. We measure moisture in walls, floors and framing, set up the right equipment and monitor until the structure is dry.
If anyone is in danger or you smell gas, leave the building and call 911 first.

Measure, then dry
Moisture meters and thermal imaging show where water traveled, often well beyond what is visible. Drying is set up for the actual wet area.
Save what can be saved
Targeted drying can save drywall, cabinets and some flooring that would otherwise be removed, when conditions allow.
Prove it's dry
Daily readings are recorded until materials reach dry targets. The records support your insurance claim and show the building is ready to rebuild.
Local knowledge
Drying in Denver's climate
Denver's dry air helps drying, but basements and enclosed spaces still hold moisture. Equipment is set up for the space and adjusted as readings change.

Questions
Questions and answers
How long does drying take?
Often three to five days, depending on materials and conditions.
Can I turn off the equipment at night?
Please do not. Drying works continuously, and stopping slows it down.
Is the equipment loud?
It can be. We place it to minimize disruption where possible.
Do you remove wet drywall?
Only where it cannot be dried or is contaminated.
