What is Structural Drying?
Structural Drying is a strategy for drying building materials that promotes

science of drying-to track moisture content, drying progress, and to verify job completion.
In most cases, this method uses more equipment to dry a structure faster while reducing the costs, time, and inconvenience related to replacments and repairs. Restorers can use Structural Drying techniques in any type of water damage. Whether you pull the carpet and
pad or leave it in place, Structural Drying strategies are based on the solid foundation of proven IICRC drying principles. Heat drying is fast becoming the standard in the structural drying business.

A Category 1 water damage involves fresh water from potable source like a washing machine, supply pipe,tub or faucet.
