Structural Drying

Structural Drying:
Moisture content in structural components must be a concern in all water damage situations. After evaluation of carpet and pad, a careful evaluation of structural materials must be done. Replacement of structural components if damaged beyond repair will be much more costly than replacement of contents such as carpet and pad. Thus consideration and inspection of any structural component that has the remotest possibility of being wet is vital (dirt to sky inspection). If moisture is detected, rapid drying of the structure must be the primary concern. Thus use of a hygrometer to measure the extent of saturation of porous materials is considered standard procedure in all water losses.
