Structural drying is a controlled process used after water damage to remove moisture from building materials before they rot or grow mold. It involves using air movers and dehumidifiers to dry wood, drywall, and concrete slowly and evenly, preventing warping and cracking. Unlike surface drying, it targets moisture trapped deep within walls and floors.
