What is an applied structural drying?

An Applied Structural Drying (ASD) job involves the use of specialized techniques and equipment to remove excess moisture from buildings after water damage. Technicians assess the extent of water infiltration, use air movers, dehumidifiers, and other tools to dry structures efficiently, and monitor moisture levels to prevent mold growth. Their goal is to restore affected buildings to a safe, dry condition while minimizing further damage. ASD professionals often work in emergency response situations following floods, leaks, or storms.
