Structural Drying in Lake St. Louis, MO

Living near the water in Lake St. Louis, MO is a dream for many, but water inside your home is a nightmare. When flooding occurs, removing visible water is only half the battle. The water you can't see—soaked into studs, subfloors, and drywall—is the real enemy.

What is Structural Drying?

Structural drying is the scientific process of removing moisture from building materials to return them to their pre-loss dryness standard. It's not about just opening a window. It requires controlling temperature, airflow, and humidity to force evaporation.

Why It Matters

• Prevents Mold: Mold needs moisture to grow. By drying materials quickly (usually within 3-5 days), we remove the environment mold needs to survive.
• Saves Money: Drying materials in place is far cheaper than tearing out wet walls and floors and rebuilding them.
• Maintains Integrity: Wood swells and warps when wet. Quick drying preserves the structural strength of your home's framing.

Our Technology

At Flood Cleanup Pros, we use state-of-the-art equipment:

LGR Dehumidifiers

Low Grain Refrigerant (LGR) dehumidifiers are far more powerful than residential units. They can pull moisture from the air even in low-humidity environments, accelerating the drying process.

Injection Drying Systems

For hardwood floors or wall cavities, we use specialized mats and injectors that force warm, dry air into the material, drying it from the inside out without removal.
