A room can look and feel dry to the touch while moisture meters still show trapped moisture inside wall cavities or under flooring.
We calculate air mover and dehumidifier placement using psychrometric formulas, not a flat per-room equipment count.
Every Structural Drying And Dehumidification job in Sebastopol, CA starts with psychrometric calculations that determine exactly how much airflow and dehumidification capacity is needed.
Our Sebastopol, CA jobs run commercial LGR equipment sized to the calculated moisture load.
We map hidden moisture with thermal imaging before finalizing equipment placement.
You receive documented daily readings showing the structure actually getting drier.
Structural drying is a distinct phase with its own methodology, separate from initial extraction, and here's how our Sebastopol, CA crews run it.
We calculate temperature, humidity, and grain depression readings to build the drying plan.
Thermal cameras scan walls, ceilings, and flooring to reveal moisture invisible to the naked eye.
We position air movers to create directed airflow across wet surfaces based on the assessment.
Documented logs track the numbers from day one through final verification.
Specialty drying protocols protect materials that standard drying speed could damage.
We provide a written verification report confirming the structure has reached dry standard.
We ask enough to bring the right instruments on the first visit.
A technician arrives with thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters ready to assess.
We complete the psychrometric assessment and thermal scan, then provide a written drying plan and quote.
The job closes only once documented readings confirm the structure is fully dry.
"The thermal imaging found moisture behind a wall that looked completely fine from the outside. Would have missed it otherwise." — Julian R.
"They came back every single day to take readings and showed me the numbers improving. Felt like real science, not guesswork." — Monique T.
"Our hardwood floor didn't warp because they slowed the drying process down specifically for it." — Grant P.
Visual appearance doesn't confirm dryness — instrument readings are needed to catch what's not visible.
It's a calculated approach using temperature and humidity data to determine exact equipment needs, rather than guessing.
Typical drying time is 3-5 days for standard materials, longer for sensitive ones like hardwood.
You'll see the actual numbers improve each day through documented logs.
Yes, we use slower, controlled drying specifically calibrated for hardwood to prevent warping.
A stall in the daily logs triggers a plan review rather than simply leaving equipment running unchanged.
Our Sebastopol, CA drying teams cover Sebastopol and nearby communities with thermal imaging and LGR equipment staged for dispatch.
