Water damage happened—what should you do first?


If it’s safe to do so, these steps can help reduce additional damage:

  1. Avoid electrical hazards. If water is near outlets or appliances, turn off power to affected areas (only if safe).
  2. Stop the source if possible (shut off water supply for plumbing leaks).
  3. Take quick photos/videos for your records and insurance claim (if applicable).
  4. Move valuables to a dry area and keep kids/pets away from affected rooms.
  5. Call for drying support—hidden moisture can remain in materials even after visible water is gone.

What is structural drying?


Structural drying is the process of removing moisture from building materials and structural components after water damage. It often includes a coordinated approach using:

  • Air movement to support evaporation
  • Dehumidification to remove moisture from the air
  • Moisture monitoring to guide the drying plan and confirm progress

Structural drying is commonly needed after floods, burst pipes, overflows, and leaks that spread into walls or flooring.

Why structural drying isn’t just “running fans


Even when surfaces feel dry, moisture can remain trapped in materials like drywall, insulation, baseboards, subfloors, and framing. If humidity stays high, drying can slow down and moisture can linger.

Professional structural drying focuses on:

  • Moving moisture out of materials
  • Controlling humidity so drying continues
  • Monitoring progress so the approach is adjusted when needed

This helps you avoid guessing—and supports a cleaner path to restoration.

Structural drying for Denver homes and businesses


We provide structural drying for:

  • Homes, condos, apartments, and basements
  • Offices, retail spaces, and commercial buildings
  • Multi-room losses and widespread water intrusion

Our team will outline the drying plan and explain next steps clearly—whether you need only drying support or full restoration repairs.

When structural drying is commonly needed

Structural drying is often recommended when:

  • Water has reached drywall, baseboards, insulation, or cabinetry
  • Flooring/subfloors are wet or buckling
  • A basement has significant moisture or water entry
  • A leak ran for a while and spread into hidden areas
  • Flooding affected multiple rooms
  • You suspect hidden moisture behind walls or under floors

If you’re unsure, we can assess the affected areas and recommend the right next step.

Our structural drying process


Assessment + moisture mapping

We identify affected areas, including potential hidden moisture zones, and outline a drying plan.

Drying setup (air movement + dehumidification)

We set drying equipment based on the space, materials, and moisture conditions.

Monitoring + adjustments

We monitor moisture and humidity conditions and adjust equipment placement and strategy as needed.

Cleaning/sanitizing (when appropriate)

If contamination is suspected or hygiene concerns are present, we coordinate cleaning and sanitizing steps as needed.

Final check + next steps

We confirm progress and provide guidance on next steps—repairs/restoration if materials were damaged.

Equipment & verification 

Structural drying commonly uses professional air movers, dehumidification equipment, and moisture detection tools to guide and confirm drying progress.

Structural drying vs. dehumidification: what’s the difference?

Structural drying focuses on drying building materials (walls, floors, subfloors, framing).


Dehumidification focuses on reducing moisture in the air—often as part of the overall drying system.
