Structural Drying After Water Damage in Salt Lake City
Once the visible water is removed, hidden moisture remains — trapped in your floors, walls, ceilings, and substructures. At Vivid Water Damage & Restoration, our professional structural drying process ensures that every layer of your home or business is fully dry to prevent long-term damage.
Why Structural Drying Matters
Surface drying is not enough. Without deep drying, moisture left inside materials can lead to:
- Mold growth within 24–48 hours
- Warping of wood floors and framing
- Structural weakening over time
- Unpleasant, lingering odors
Our Structural Drying Process
We use a combination of air movement, heat, and dehumidification to fully dry your property:
- Moisture Detection: We use thermal cameras and meters to detect hidden water inside walls and floors.
- Targeted Air Movement: Industrial air movers create controlled airflow to dry surfaces evenly.
- Dehumidification: Commercial dehumidifiers remove excess moisture from the air and building materials.
- Continuous Monitoring: We track moisture levels daily to ensure complete drying.
- Final Clearance: Once drying goals are met, we prepare for repairs and reconstruction.
Advanced Tools We Use

- Non-invasive moisture meters
