Why Structural Drying Is Essential for Water Damage
Acting fast after water damage isn’t optional—it’s critical. Structural drying goes far beyond simply removing water. When done professionally, it:
- Prevents Mold Growth: Mold can begin growing within 24–48 hours. Our drying process halts this threat at the source.
- Preserves Building Materials: Drying walls, flooring, and ceilings in place avoids unnecessary demolition and saves money.
- Reduces Restoration Costs: By preserving materials, you could save up to 60% compared to full tear-out replacements.
- Minimizes Downtime: We get you back in your home or business faster by drying efficiently and monitoring progress daily.
- Uses Scientific Methods: Our team applies psychrometric principles to control temperature, humidity, and airflow—ensuring complete moisture removal.
Dry First uses a professional, data-driven approach to structural drying, ensuring your property is restored properly and protected against future damage.

Our 4-Phase Structural Drying Process
We follow a proven, four-phase process to ensure efficient, complete drying:
Phase 1: Water Extraction
We immediately remove standing water using truck-mounted extractors, vacuums, and portable units. Complete water removal within 24 hours is essential to stop damage and start the drying process.
Phase 2: Air Movement & Evaporation
We place high-velocity air movers throughout affected areas to create airflow that pulls moisture out of materials like drywall, floors, and wood framing.
Phase 3: Dehumidification
Refrigerant and desiccant dehumidifiers are used to extract moisture from the air and prevent it from being reabsorbed. We maintain optimal humidity levels to support rapid drying.
Phase 4: Temperature & Environmental Control
We control temperature (typically between 75–90°F) and monitor vapor pressure and humidity using professional moisture meters and thermal imaging to ensure nothing is missed.
Advanced Structural Drying Equipment
We invest in the latest drying technology to ensure no moisture is left behind:
- Truck-Mounted Water Extractors – High-power systems to remove large volumes of standing water quickly
- LGR (Low Grain Refrigerant) Dehumidifiers – Extract maximum moisture from air in high-humidity environments
- Centrifugal Air Movers – Push over 3,000 CFM of airflow to dry materials thoroughly
- Desiccant Dehumidifiers – Ideal for cold climates or specialty applications
- Professional Moisture Meters & Hygrometers – Detect moisture within materials for precise drying
- Thermal Imaging Cameras – Reveal hidden moisture behind walls and under flooring
- HEPA Air Scrubbers – Filter airborne contaminants and improve indoor air quality during restoratio
Water Damage Categories We Handle
Water damage isn’t all the same. We’re fully equipped to handle all categories of water loss:
Category 1 – Clean Water
From supply line bursts or sink overflows. Quick response means a higher chance of saving materials and lowering costs.
Category 2 – Grey Water
From appliances or minor toilet overflows (without feces). These require antimicrobial treatment and selective material removal.
Category 3 – Black Water
From sewage, flooding, or storm surges. Requires full contamination control, material disposal, and specialized PPE.
