How We Handle Structural Drying
When you call for Structural Drying, here's exactly what you can expect from our team. Structural drying is the science of removing moisture from building materials without causing secondary damage. Our Structural Drying technicians use psychrometric calculations to determine exactly how many dehumidifiers and air movers your space needs — not a guess based on square footage. We monitor grain depression, temperature, and moisture content of wood framing, concrete, and drywall daily using both pin and pinless meters. The goal is reaching equilibrium moisture content within 3-5 days, verified by documented readings. Rushing this step leads to mold; skipping monitoring leads to callbacks.
The Structural Drying Difference
Proper drying prevents mold, warping, and delamination that rushed or skipped monitoring causes.
We don't pull equipment until readings confirm the structure is dry — documented and verifiable.

With 15-17 inches annually of annual precipitation and a frost depth of 36 inches, Fort Collins properties face specific water intrusion risks. The expansive clay (bentonite) common in this area can direct water toward foundations in ways that aren't immediately obvious. We've mapped these patterns across dozens of Fort Collins neighborhoods.

Structural Drying — Frequently Asked Questions
- How do you know when the structure is dry?
- We use pin and pinless moisture meters to measure moisture content of wood, drywall, and concrete. Readings must reach equilibrium moisture content, verified by documented daily measurements.
- What happens if drying isn't done properly?
- Insufficient drying leads to mold growth within 24-48 hours, wood warping, delamination of flooring, and musty odors. Rushing this step creates expensive secondary damage.
- Do you just use fans and dehumidifiers?
- We use psychrometric calculations to determine exactly how many dehumidifiers and air movers your space needs. It's a science — not just plugging in equipment and hoping.
- How long does structural drying take?
- Most residential structures reach target moisture levels in 3-5 days with proper equipment placement. We monitor daily and don't pull equipment until readings confirm the structure is dry.
- What happens if I'm not satisfied?
- Call us. We return within 24-48 hours and make it right — whether that means redoing work, replacing a part, or adjusting the invoice. Your satisfaction is the job.
- Can you give me references from other Fort Collins customers?
- Absolutely. We're happy to share recent customer contacts who've had similar Structural Drying work done. Just ask when we meet.
- What if I need Structural Drying outside of business hours?
- We offer 24/7 emergency Structural Drying dispatch. After-hours service has a fair dispatch fee but no markup on parts or labor. Call anytime — a real technician answers, not a robo-menu.
