Extraction removes the water you can see. Structural drying removes the water you can’t — inside wall cavities, under hardwood, deep in framing. We set commercial dehumidifiers and air movers, monitor daily, and prove dryness with documented meter readings.
New Orleans building stock is unforgiving when wet: original heart-pine and cypress floors cup within days, plaster walls in Creole cottages hold moisture against lath, and brick-and-beam construction wicks water upward. Outdoor humidity here often exceeds the moisture content of the materials we’re drying, so open windows are the enemy — controlled, sealed drying is the only approach that works.
Most residential losses dry in 3–5 days with proper equipment. Deeply saturated framing, plaster, or hardwood can take longer. We monitor daily and give you honest timelines based on meter readings, not guesses.
In New Orleans, outdoor air usually carries more moisture than your wet walls do — opening windows slows drying or reverses it. Sealed drying with commercial dehumidifiers is the only method that reliably hits dry-standard targets here.
Often, yes — if drying starts quickly. We use floor-drying mat systems that pull moisture through the boards. Many original cypress and heart-pine floors survive a loss that would have destroyed them a decade ago.
Standing water removed fast — truck-mounted and portable extraction for any floor level.
Post-storm flood cleanup built for Gulf Coast weather — from tropical rain to full storm surge.
Supply-line bursts, slab leaks, and failed water heaters — dried out before mold takes hold.
