Advance Structural Drying

Section 1

Applied Structural Drying (ASD) or Rapid Structural Drying (RSD) is the most advanced technique used today by restoration professionals to non-evasively dry a structure after water damage has occurred. Specialized equipment is used in a multi-stage process to effectively salvage the interior of a home or commercial business, reducing the costs associated with a major water loss. The process results in a quicker drying time, less cost, and a faster return to normalcy for the occupants than previous methods involving the immediate demolition and removal of expensive carpets, wood flooring and drywall.
