Why Structural Drying Is the Critical Step
Wet framing and subfloor don't dry on their own in a reasonable timeframe โ especially in the Pacific Northwest's humid climate. Left alone, damp materials can warp, delaminate, or become an environment where mold takes hold. Structural drying uses engineered airflow and dehumidification to force moisture out of building materials methodically.
