Psychrometrics is the science behind Structural Drying And Dehumidification, and skipping it usually means either under-drying a space or leaving equipment running far longer than necessary.
We calculate air mover and dehumidifier placement using psychrometric formulas, not a flat per-room equipment count.

We calculate drying requirements using temperature and humidity data, not a flat per-room rule.
Low Grain Refrigerant dehumidifiers pull significantly more moisture from the air than consumer-grade units.
Thermal scans on every Alna, ME job catch moisture a visual inspection alone would miss.
Moisture readings are logged daily throughout the Structural Drying And Dehumidification job so progress is measurable, not assumed.
Structural drying is a distinct phase with its own methodology, separate from initial extraction, and here's how our Alna, ME crews run it.

Psychrometric formulas determine exactly how much equipment capacity the space requires.
We map the full extent of moisture intrusion before placing a single air mover.
Dehumidifier capacity is matched to the calculated moisture load for that specific space.
A technician returns daily to take moisture readings and log progress against the drying plan.
We adjust drying speed for sensitive materials like hardwood and cabinetry to prevent secondary damage.
The job closes only once moisture readings match the documented dry standard for each material type.
We ask enough to bring the right instruments on the first visit.
Equipment for psychrometric assessment is standard on every drying dispatch.
A full diagnostic assessment comes before any equipment placement or pricing.
The job closes only once documented readings confirm the structure is fully dry.

"The thermal imaging found moisture behind a wall that looked completely fine from the outside. Would have missed it otherwise." — Julian R.
"They came back every single day to take readings and showed me the numbers improving. Felt like real science, not guesswork." — Monique T.
"Our hardwood floor didn't warp because they slowed the drying process down specifically for it." — Grant P.
A room can look dry on the surface while moisture meters still detect trapped moisture inside materials.
It's a calculated approach using temperature and humidity data to determine exact equipment needs, rather than guessing.
Most jobs run 3-5 days, though hardwood and cabinetry may need longer, more controlled drying.
We provide daily documented logs showing moisture readings, not just a verbal update.
We adjust the drying plan whenever sensitive materials are involved.
We treat flat readings as a signal to recalculate, not something to wait out.
Alna is within our core structural drying response zone.
