When water damage occurs, time is everything. Minutes and hours matter, and improper drying can lead to permanent structural damage, mold growth, and costly secondary repairs.Applied Structural Drying (ASD) is a science-based, methodical process used by QRF Restoration to dry structures quickly, safely, and thoroughly — not just what you can see, but what you can’t.Our technicians use industry-approved drying principles, professional-grade equipment, and real-time data to restore your property with minimal disruption and maximum results.What Applied Structural Drying IncludesRapid Water Extraction
The first priority is removing standing water as quickly as possible. We use high-powered extraction equipment to remove water from carpets, hard floors, and affected materials. When possible, materials are dried in place to reduce unnecessary demolition.Controlled Drying & Humidity Reduction
Excess moisture in the air causes damage to spread. We deploy professional air movers and commercial dehumidifiers to control temperature, airflow, and humidity, preventing warping, swelling, and secondary damage to unaffected areas.Precision Monitoring & Documentation
Drying isn’t guesswork. We use moisture meters, thermal imaging, and hygrometers to track progress daily. Moisture levels are documented and verified to meet industry drying standards, providing clear records for insurance carriers.Non-Destructive When Possible
Our goal is always to dry efficiently while preserving your property. Materials are only removed when they cannot be properly dried or salvaged.Applied Structural Drying allows QRF Restoration to shorten drying times, reduce repair costs, and prevent future issues, while providing documentation insurers expect.
