How Construction Drying Services Can Help Keep Wood’s Integrity

Construction Drying, Water and Storm Damage

When you’re on a deadline, you can’t always wait for wood to season. After you cut lumber to the precise measurements required, it could still expand or contract, depending on the moisture levels and temperatures in the environment. Specialists refer to this phenomenon as equilibrium moisture content, or EMC. By implementing construction drying solution throughout a project, you’ll prevent EMC-related changes and the headaches that follow.

Is Dehumidification or Heat Better in Construction Drying?

Construction Drying, Temporary Climate Solutions

From concrete to wallboard to millwork, materials used to construct buildings absorb moisture. While a small amount of moisture is necessary for materials to cure properly and prevent cracking or distortion, excess amounts pose a variety of risks, including project delays, adhesive and coating failures, and mold growth. To prevent and combat moisture-related problems, contractors look to temporary climate solutions, such as heaters and dehumidifiers. By knowing which process is better for your application, your moisture control efforts will be more effective.
