Hidden moisture in studs, subfloors, and insulation is what becomes mould and a second claim
We mark reading points and track them daily so drying is measured, not guessed.
LGR dehumidifiers, air movers, and specialty setups for cavities and hardwood.
Drying records and photos for your adjuster. Equipment stays until goals are met.
We plan power, noise, and containment so you can still live in dry rooms.
Structure, finishes, and the spaces you cannot see
Typical structural drying runs 3–7 days depending on materials, outdoor humidity, and water category. We adjust equipment as readings drop and do not pull it until the structure is actually dry.

Coastal humidity works against you. A room that feels dry can still hold moisture in the subfloor. That is why we use meters, not eyeballs, and why we leave equipment until readings pass.
If hardwood can be saved, we try. If drywall is holding Category 3 water, it comes out. Honest salvage decisions keep your claim file clean and your rebuild smaller.
Drying is the bridge between emergency extraction and rebuild. Shield does all three — so the crew hanging drywall already knows which walls were wet.
