A room can look and feel dry to the touch while moisture meters still show trapped moisture inside wall cavities or under flooring.
We calculate air mover and dehumidifier placement using psychrometric formulas, not a flat per-room equipment count.
A calculated drying plan means faster results with the right amount of equipment, not excess.
Our South Portland, ME jobs run commercial LGR equipment sized to the calculated moisture load.
We map hidden moisture with thermal imaging before finalizing equipment placement.
You receive documented daily readings showing the structure actually getting drier.
Below is the calculated, documented process our South Portland, ME teams follow.
Psychrometric formulas determine exactly how much equipment capacity the space requires.
Thermal cameras scan walls, ceilings, and flooring to reveal moisture invisible to the naked eye.
Dehumidifier capacity is matched to the calculated moisture load for that specific space.
Daily monitoring confirms equipment is working and adjusts the plan if progress stalls.
Hardwood floors and built-in cabinetry require slower, more controlled drying to avoid warping.
We provide a written verification report confirming the structure has reached dry standard.
We ask enough to bring the right instruments on the first visit.
Equipment for psychrometric assessment is standard on every drying dispatch.
We complete the psychrometric assessment and thermal scan, then provide a written drying plan and quote.
The job closes only once documented readings confirm the structure is fully dry.
"The thermal imaging found moisture behind a wall that looked completely fine from the outside. Would have missed it otherwise." — Julian R.
"They came back every single day to take readings and showed me the numbers improving. Felt like real science, not guesswork." — Monique T.
"Our hardwood floor didn't warp because they slowed the drying process down specifically for it." — Grant P.
We rely on moisture meters and thermal imaging, not appearance alone.
It's a calculated approach using temperature and humidity data to determine exact equipment needs, rather than guessing.
Timeline depends on material type and how much moisture the thermal scan revealed.
We provide daily documented logs showing moisture readings, not just a verbal update.
Yes, we use slower, controlled drying specifically calibrated for hardwood to prevent warping.
We treat flat readings as a signal to recalculate, not something to wait out.
