#1 Structural Drying in Iowa

Structural drying is a vital process used in water damage restoration to effectively eliminate moisture from a building’s structure. It involves utilizing advanced techniques and specialized equipment to dry materials such as walls, floors, ceilings, and other structural elements. Whether the damage is caused by flooding, leaks, burst pipes, or severe storms, structural drying is essential for halting further deterioration, preventing mold growth, and restoring a property to its pre-damage condition. Equipment such as dehumidifiers, air movers, moisture barriers, and wet/dry vacuums are employed to achieve the drying process in a controlled and precise manner.

At True North Restoration, we follow a systematic structural drying process to ensure your property is thoroughly restored.

1. Assessment and Inspection: Our team begins by conducting a comprehensive evaluation of the damaged area. This includes determining the source and category of water damage and assessing the extent of structural and potential mold damage.  
2. Water Removal: Once the damage is assessed, any standing water is extracted quickly using specialized pumps and vacuums to mitigate further harm to the structure.  
3. Evaporation: Air movers and blowers are used to rapidly circulate air and convert residual moisture into vapor, speeding up the drying process on affected surfaces like walls and floors.  
4. Dehumidification: Dehumidifiers are employed to remove moisture from the air, ensuring optimal humidity levels and preventing secondary problems such as warping or mold development.  
5. Monitoring and Documentation: Throughout the drying process, we closely monitor humidity and moisture content, making necessary adjustments to equipment. This step ensures the property reaches safe moisture levels, and documentation verifies proper restoration.  

Once the environment is dry and stable, our equipment is removed, and the property is deemed safe for continued use or further repairs.
