What incomplete drying costs a business
The damage you can see is rarely the damage that reopens the claim three months later.

Drying & Moisture
Extraction stops the loss. Drying ends it.
Once standing water is removed, moisture is still sitting inside drywall, subfloor, concrete and wall cavities. Left there, it feeds mould, warps materials and turns a two-day job into a multi-week claim. Our crews design a drying plan for the specific materials in your building — then prove it worked with documented readings.
What We Do
Commercial drying & moisture services
Purpose-built drying systems for every material and every property type across Georgia.
Dehumidification Most requested
Commercial LGR dehumidifiers sized to the building’s cubic volume to pull moisture out of the air and materials.
Desiccant Drying
High-capacity desiccant units for large open spaces, cold conditions and dense materials that refrigerant units can’t reach.
Heat Drying Systems
Controlled thermal energy to accelerate evaporation on tight timelines and hard-to-dry assemblies.
Injectidry Wall Drying
Targeted airflow injected into wall systems so finishes, tiling and millwork stay intact — less demolition, less rebuild.
Hardwood Floor Drying
Mat systems and vapour control to draw water from timber flooring and reduce cupping, crowning and replacement cost.
Concrete Drying
Slab drying and moisture-vapour management so flooring can be reinstalled without adhesive or coating failures.
Crawl Space Drying
Water removal, drying and vapour barrier repair in sub-floor voids where moisture quietly migrates upward.
Ceiling Drying
Safe drying of saturated ceiling tiles, plenums and structural decking after upper-floor and roof-related losses.
Wall Cavity Drying
Safe drying of saturated ceiling tiles, plenums and structural decking after upper-floor and roof-related losses.
Moisture Monitoring
Daily meter readings, psychrometric logs and a written dry standard your adjuster and facility team can verify.
Simple From Start to Finish
How we dry your building
A measured drying plan — not a room full of fans and a guess at when it’s finished.
Map the moisture
Meters and thermal imaging locate every wet material, including what’s hidden behind finishes.
Set the drying plan
Equipment type and count calculated for the affected volume, materials and building conditions.
Verify and release
Materials confirmed at dry standard, documentation issued, equipment removed and reinstatement begins.
Not Sure It's Actually Dry?
Get a moisture reading before you rebuild
Surfaces dry long before the structure does. If flooring is going back down or drywall is being closed up, a moisture map tells you whether the building is ready — or whether you’re sealing a problem inside a wall.

Documented readings across every affected area, in a format your adjuster, contractor and facility team can all work from.

Drying Around Operations
Contained work zones and quiet equipment placement so tenants, guests and staff keep working through the dry-out.
Documented Dry Standard
Daily psychrometric logs and material readings that support your claim and prove the building reached dry.
IICRC-Certified Crews
Technicians trained to ANSI/IICRC S500 with large-loss drying experience across commercial property types.
Mould growth
Wet materials can begin supporting growth within 24 to 48 hours, turning a water claim into a remediation project.
Flooring failure
Adhesives release, timber cups and vinyl blisters when flooring is installed over a slab that never reached dry.
Structural damage
Trapped moisture in studs, sheathing and decking weakens assemblies and corrodes fixings over time.

Odour complaints
Damp cavities and insulation produce persistent odours that tenants and guests notice long before a meter does.

Denied claim items
Without daily readings and drying logs, carriers can dispute the scope, the duration and the equipment charged.
Extended downtime
Re-opening a closed wall to dry it properly costs more days offline than drying it correctly the first time.

Commercial drying FAQs
What facility and property managers most often ask before drying starts.
How long does commercial structural drying take?
Most commercial dry-outs run three to five days. Dense materials such as concrete, plaster and hardwood take longer, and heavily saturated or contaminated losses can extend further. We give you a projected timeline after the initial moisture map and update it as daily readings come in.
Do we have to close the business while you dry?
Usually not. We contain the affected area, route equipment and power away from occupied space, and stage noisier work overnight or on weekends. For hotels, healthcare and retail we plan the setup around trading hours and tenant access before crews arrive.
How do you know when the building is actually dry?
We set a dry standard from unaffected materials of the same type in the same building, then meter the affected materials daily until they match it. Equipment stays until the readings hold, and you receive the full log as part of the claim documentation.
Can you dry walls and floors without demolition?
Often, yes. Injectidry wall systems and hardwood mat drying let us dry cavities and flooring in place, which protects finishes and reduces rebuild cost. Where water is contaminated or materials are structurally compromised, removal is the safer call and we will tell you why.
Does insurance cover drying equipment charges?
Commercial policies generally cover drying as part of a covered water loss. Equipment days are the item carriers scrutinise most, which is why we log readings daily and justify every unit on site. We work with all commercial carriers and bill them directly.
How fast can drying equipment be on site?
Within 60 minutes across metro Atlanta and rapidly statewide, 24 hours a day. Drying should begin as soon as extraction is complete — every hour materials stay wet increases the chance of mould growth and permanent damage.

What Georgia businesses say
Rated 5 out of 5
They tore out two floors of wet drywall and had the same crew back to rebuild it. We never had to bid the job out or chase a second contractor.

Facilities Director, Midtown Atlanta

New flooring, base and paint in the dining room while we kept the patio open. The colour match was exact — guests could not tell where the repair stopped.
Dana B.
Restaurant Owner, Decatur
Rated 5 out of 5
Ceiling grid, tile and lighting went back after hours across three tenant suites. Every supplement went straight to our adjuster with photos attached.
