Frequently Asked Questions
How long does structural drying take in Houston's humidity?
In Houston's humid climate, structural drying typically takes 3-5 days with professional equipment. Without proper equipment, drying can take weeks and often leads to mold growth within 24-48 hours.
Can you dry hardwood floors without replacing them?
Yes, in many cases we can save hardwood floors using specialized floor drying mats and controlled drying techniques. Success depends on how quickly we begin the process after water damage occurs.
How do you know when a structure is fully dry?
We use professional moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras to measure moisture content in walls, floors, and ceilings. We document readings daily and only stop when all materials reach safe moisture levels (typically below 15%).
Why can't I just use fans and open windows?
Houston's high humidity (often 80-90%) means household fans actually slow drying and can introduce more moisture. Professional dehumidifiers remove 30-50 gallons of water per day from the air while maintaining controlled conditions.
