Memphis structural drying
Whether you saw water on the floor or just heard a drip, what happens in the next 30 minutes matters. Stop reading and call if it's the first one. Service area covers Memphis proper plus the metro suburbs. After-hours is real after-hours, not "we'll get back to you tomorrow."
What this service includes
Drying after extraction is what determines whether your loss becomes a $5,000 cleanup or a $25,000 demolition-and-rebuild. Inadequate drying = mold = much bigger problem.
We size drying equipment using IICRC psychrometric calculations: cubic footage of affected space, current moisture content of materials, target dryness, and grain depression of the air.
Typical setup: 1 dehumidifier per 800-1,200 cubic feet, plus air movers at 1 per 50-100 sqft of wet surface. Equipment runs continuously for 3-7 days depending on class of loss.
Daily moisture readings track progress against target. Once materials hit target dryness, equipment comes out and reconstruction can begin.

One we ran last year
Recent Memphis job: hardwood floor cupping after a slow leak in a any era home.
