Structural Drying in San Antonio, TX
There's a reason structural drying in San Antonio is mostly handled by small shops, not the big franchises: nobody beats a guy who knows the housing stock and answers his phone. Service area covers San Antonio proper plus the metro suburbs. After-hours is real after-hours, not "we'll get back to you tomorrow."
Scope of work
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.
