We specialize in drying walls, ceilings, floors, and building cavities using precision equipment calibrated for Pomona's inland valley climate. Our structural drying process follows IICRC S500 standards, protecting your property from mold growth, rot, and long-term structural damage. Whether you own a home or manage a commercial facility, our job is to stabilize your structure and prepare it for reconstruction as fast and safely as possible.

With daily moisture logs, non-invasive structural drying techniques, and insurance-ready documentation, we make the drying process transparent and efficient. We coordinate directly with adjusters, contractors, and city inspectors to verify every structural drying job meets Pomona building codes and safety standards.

Signs You Need Structural Drying

Damp Drywall or Ceiling Sagging

Water-soaked drywall softens and sags under its own weight. Structural drying is needed to prevent ceiling collapse and stop mold growth behind the panels before moisture penetrates deeper into your building envelope.

Warped or Buckling Floors

Hardwood and laminate floors expand when moisture is trapped in the subfloor below. Our structural drying process removes water from subfloor panels and floor joists before repairs to prevent repeat damage to your Pomona property.

Mold at Baseboards or Joist Lines

Visible microbial growth at floor or wall intersections indicates moisture has penetrated structural elements. This condition requires immediate structural drying to desorb bound moisture from framing and prevent further contamination spread.

High Humidity Indoors After Water Removal

If indoor humidity stays above 60% after water extraction, trapped moisture likely remains in walls, studs, or subfloors. Structural drying with LGR dehumidifiers controls indoor relative humidity and removes vapor from your building envelope.

Odors That Linger Days After Cleanup

Persistent musty smells often signal moisture inside structural materials like insulation, framing, or wall cavities. Structural drying addresses those hidden layers to stop odor and prevent wood decay throughout your Pomona property.

Our Structural Drying Process

Structural Moisture Assessment

After water extraction, we evaluate all structural elements with FLIR thermal imaging cameras and Delmhorst moisture meters. Our technicians inspect drywall, insulation, subfloors, and joists to map hidden moisture throughout your Pomona building's envelope.

Equipment Deployment

We install Phoenix air movers, Dri-Eaz LGR dehumidifiers, and Injectidry cavity-drying systems based on your property's layout and construction materials. Our structural drying equipment placement accounts for Pomona's climate conditions and your building's specific moisture load.

Daily Monitoring and Adjustments

We track moisture readings daily, reposition structural drying equipment as needed, and adjust airflow and dehumidification rates for optimal performance. This systematic monitoring approach follows psychrometric principles to accelerate your drying timeline.

Wall Cavity and Floor Drying

We use targeted Injectidry systems and drying mats to remove moisture from inside wall cavities and under floors without demolition. This structural drying method preserves building finishes and reduces reconstruction costs for Pomona homeowners and business owners.

Final Clearance & Documentation

Once all structural materials meet dry standards, we remove equipment and submit complete reports. Our documentation includes moisture readings, progress photos, and drying logs formatted in Xactimate for insurance approval.

Brands We Use

Phoenix

Phoenix LGR dehumidifiers and axial air movers are our primary tools for structural drying in large spaces. These units accelerate evaporation across framing, drywall, and insulation in Pomona homes and commercial buildings.

Dri-Eaz

Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers and HEPA air scrubbers maintain optimal humidity levels and clean air during structural drying. We deploy these units in both residential and commercial properties throughout the Pomona region.

FLIR

FLIR thermal imaging cameras help us detect residual moisture behind walls, in insulation layers, and under floors. This technology guides our structural drying placement to address all hidden wet areas effectively.

Kärcher

Kärcher air movers support structural drying in large commercial structures where broad airflow across open framing and exposed building components is required.

Mytee

Mytee portable extractors assist with final-stage moisture removal, especially in carpeted areas where structure and flooring meet. These units complement our structural drying equipment during comprehensive water damage restoration.

Hydro-X

Hydro-X drying mats and suction tools remove water from below hardwood and subfloor materials without removing flooring. This non-invasive structural drying method preserves your Pomona property's finishes.

ZipWall

We set up ZipWall barriers to isolate structural drying zones and maintain negative pressure containment. This controls airflow and minimizes dust or contamination spread during the drying process.

Injectidry

Injectidry systems allow us to dry inside wall cavities, ceilings, and under floors with minimal disruption. This cavity-drying technology is essential for non-destructive structural drying in Pomona properties.

Delmhorst

Delmhorst moisture meters provide precise readings in wood framing, drywall, and OSB panels. These measurements guide our structural drying timelines and verify final clearance standards.

Xactimate

We input all structural drying data into Xactimate to create compliant, insurer-approved reports. This documentation supports your insurance claim with detailed moisture readings and drying logs.

FAQs About Structural Drying

What is structural drying?

Structural drying is the controlled process of removing moisture from a building's structural components - including framing, subfloors, wall cavities, and ceilings - using professional dehumidifiers, air movers, and cavity-drying systems. This process restores your building envelope to safe moisture levels.

How long does structural drying take?

Structural drying typically requires 3 to 7 days, depending on saturation level, material types, and Pomona's ambient humidity conditions. We monitor moisture readings daily and document progress with drying curve charts to track your timeline.

Can you dry walls and floors without tearing them out?

Yes. We use Injectidry cavity-drying systems and Hydro-X drying mats to remove moisture from inside walls and under floors without demolition. This structural drying approach works when materials remain structurally sound and saturation levels allow effective drying.

Is structural drying covered by insurance?

Yes - structural drying is typically covered when water damage results from a covered loss like a burst pipe, supply line failure, or storm event. We provide complete documentation including moisture logs, thermal images, and Xactimate reports to support your claim.

What happens if structural drying isn't done properly?

Residual moisture trapped in framing, insulation, or wall cavities causes mold growth, wood rot, persistent odor, and material failure over time. Proper structural drying protects your Pomona home or business from costly long-term damage and health hazards.
