Protect Your Home’s Foundation with Expert Structural Drying
Structural Drying Services
Water damage doesn’t stop at the surface. Moisture can seep deep into your walls, floors, ceilings, and foundations, causing long-term damage and creating the perfect environment for mold. At Ascend Restoration, our structural drying services are designed to eliminate moisture from even the hardest-to-reach places, ensuring your property is completely dry and safe.
What to Do Until Help Arrives
- While waiting for our team to arrive, take these steps to minimize damage:
- Turn off the water supply to stop the source of the flooding.
- Remove valuable items from the affected area if they are safe.
- Avoid walking on wet floors to prevent injury or further damage.
- Do not attempt to remove standing water with household tools—it’s best left to the professionals.
Why Structural Drying Is Essential
If water isn’t fully removed from your property, the consequences can be severe. Proper structural drying is critical to:
- Prevent Mold Growth: Hidden moisture fosters mold, which can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours.
- Protect Structural Integrity: Prolonged exposure to moisture can weaken wood, drywall, and other building materials, leading to warping, rotting, or cracking.
- Avoid Secondary Damage: Lingering moisture can damage insulation, electrical systems, and flooring over time.
- Restore Indoor Air Quality: Moisture trapped in your home can lead to musty odors and affect air quality.
Our Structural Drying Process
At Ascend Restoration, we use advanced technology and proven techniques to thoroughly dry your property. Here’s how we do it:
- Assessment and Moisture Mapping
Using moisture meters and infrared cameras, we identify areas of hidden moisture and map out the extent of the damage. - Water Removal
Any remaining standing water is extracted to prepare the area for drying. - Air Movement
High-powered air movers are strategically placed to circulate airflow, speeding up the drying process for walls, floors, and ceilings. - Dehumidification
Industrial-grade dehumidifiers remove excess moisture from the air, preventing condensation and secondary damage. - Continuous Monitoring
Throughout the process, we monitor humidity and moisture levels to ensure your property is arid before restoration begins. - Final Inspection
A thorough inspection ensures all moisture has been removed and your property is ready for repairs or rebuilding.
