A structure that looks dry on the surface can still hold dangerous moisture inside walls and subfloor. Our Structural Drying And Dehumidification process tests what you can't see, not just what you can.

A moisture meter reading is compared against a dry reference point in the same structure, not a fixed number, since normal moisture content varies by material and by region.
None of this is unique to a big loss either — the same standard applies whether it's a single-room structural drying and dehumidification call or a larger one.
We built this list around what typically goes wrong when structural drying and dehumidification gets handled by a generalist rather than a specialist.
Ask for credentials before the work starts, not after — a legitimate structural drying and dehumidification specialist will have them ready.
Air mover and dehumidifier placement follows actual humidity and temperature readings, not a default pattern.
Every drying job gets tracked with daily readings, giving you documented proof of progress.
Low-grain-refrigerant dehumidifiers handle humidity levels that standard consumer units can't touch.
We re-test every affected area before calling the drying phase complete.
Every piece of structural drying and dehumidification work below follows the same documentation standard, whether it's a small job or a larger one.
This data drives equipment placement instead of guessing based on how a room looks.
Air movers get positioned to create optimal airflow patterns across wet materials, not just pointed at the wall.
LGR units pull moisture from the air faster than standard dehumidifiers, especially in high-humidity conditions.
Monitoring continues even after materials look dry, since surface dryness doesn't mean full drying.
Thermal cameras catch hidden moisture pockets inside walls and under flooring that a surface check would miss.
Documentation includes daily readings, equipment placement, and the final verification numbers.
Four steps, no guesswork, from your first call to a verified structural drying and dehumidification result.
Dispatch gathers just enough detail to load the right equipment before the truck leaves.
Local staging is what makes rapid arrival possible, rather than a promise with nothing behind it.
The assessment sets the whole plan, so we don't rush it even when the visible damage looks minor.
Work continues until the job meets our documented completion standard, verified before we call it done.
"We had a slow leak for weeks and thermal imaging found moisture in a spot we never would have checked."
Carlos V., Makinen"Our crawl space held humidity longer than expected and they adjusted the dehumidifier setup accordingly."
Wendy K., Makinen"Drying took a few extra days but they kept us updated with daily numbers instead of vague reassurance."
Marcus T., Makinen"Daily logs meant our facilities manager always had current numbers to report internally."
