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.
We calculate drying requirements using temperature and humidity data, not a flat per-room rule.
Low Grain Refrigerant dehumidifiers pull significantly more moisture from the air than consumer-grade units.
Thermal imaging cameras reveal moisture patterns behind walls and under flooring that aren't visible to the eye.
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 Calais, ME crews run it.
We calculate temperature, humidity, and grain depression readings to build the drying plan.
Thermal imaging often reveals moisture has traveled further than the visible damage suggested.
Equipment is placed according to calculated airflow paths, not an even spread across the room.
Documented logs track the numbers from day one through final verification.
Hardwood floors and built-in cabinetry require slower, more controlled drying to avoid warping.
The job closes only once moisture readings match the documented dry standard for each material type.
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.
You'll see the calculated plan and cost before drying equipment goes down.
We verify final moisture readings against dry standard before removing equipment.
"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.
A room can look dry on the surface while moisture meters still detect trapped moisture inside materials.
It's a calculated approach using temperature and humidity data to determine exact equipment needs, rather than guessing.
Most jobs run 3-5 days, though hardwood and cabinetry may need longer, more controlled drying.
We provide daily documented logs showing moisture readings, not just a verbal update.
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 Calais, ME drying teams cover Calais and nearby communities with thermal imaging and LGR equipment staged for dispatch.
