Structural drying that finishes on a timeline, not when the instruments confirm it, leads to mold behind walls and the callbacks that follow. Our Jaroso drying crew completes the program when the readings say it's done — not before.
Structural Drying is a science-driven process built on thermodynamics, psychrometrics, and equipment calibration — not fans pointed at a wet floor and checked weekly. Here's what our Jaroso team brings to every structural drying project that ensures complete, documented results.
Low-grain refrigerant (LGR) dehumidifiers operate more efficiently in the low-humidity conditions created by an active drying program than conventional dehumidifiers — achieving lower dewpoint conditions that accelerate evaporation from structural materials. Our Jaroso structural drying crews deploy properly sized LGR equipment based on the specific volume and material profile of your affected assemblies. Equipment sizing is calculated, not estimated.
Every active drying project in Jaroso receives a daily psychrometric reading session: temperature, relative humidity, specific humidity, grains per pound of moisture in the air, and moisture content readings at fixed sensor points in each structural assembly. These readings are logged and provided as documentation of the drying program for your insurance claim. Drying is declared complete only when readings at all sensor points fall within the target EMC range for the material species being dried.
Wall cavity drying is where most post-loss mold in Jaroso properties originates. It's where we focus.
COS Water Damage Restoration's Jaroso drying technicians generate moisture logs formatted specifically for insurance claim submission — daily readings at sensor point locations mapped to a floor plan, equipment placement and settings recorded, and final confirmation readings that document the completion of the drying program. Xactimate-compatible line items for each day's equipment and labor make the drying scope transparent to your adjuster and minimize the chance of a supplement dispute on the drying phase of your claim.
COS Water Damage Restoration's Jaroso structural drying service covers every assembly type and situation encountered in a water damage event — from standard floor and wall assemblies to hardwood systems, crawlspace framing, and multi-story moisture migration events.
The most common drying failure in Jaroso water damage projects is a wall framing cavity left with elevated moisture content after surface materials are dry. Our Jaroso team uses calibrated cavity access — typically 1-inch drill holes at the base of the wall framing cavity — to introduce directed airflow from high-velocity air movers into the stud bay, paired with LGR dehumidification to extract the evaporated moisture. Moisture readings at framing sensor points confirm completion. Access ports are patched and filled after the program completes, typically leaving no visible trace of the access procedure.
Subfloor assemblies — OSB or plywood sheathing over floor joists — and hardwood flooring systems require targeted drying approaches because of their density and their tendency to cup, buckle, or swell when dried too aggressively or left wet too long. Our Jaroso drying crew evaluates hardwood flooring species and moisture content before recommending drying-in-place versus removal, and when drying in place is appropriate, we use floor drying mats that direct conditioned air against the top face of the hardwood under controlled pressure — accelerating evaporation while minimizing the differential drying stress that causes cupping.
Crawlspace saturation after a water event in Jaroso often goes undetected — we include it in every below-grade moisture mapping session.
Ceiling assembly drying is one of the more technically demanding aspects of water damage restoration in Jaroso structures.
Large water events in Jaroso commercial or multi-family properties may affect dozens of rooms across multiple floors — requiring coordinated equipment staging, airflow balancing between spaces, and readings management across a large number of sensor points simultaneously. Our Jaroso commercial drying team uses scaled equipment deployment and a project management approach that tracks readings and equipment across the full property footprint, adjusting equipment placement and settings daily based on the reading data from each zone.
Mold prevention is not a separate service — it's built into every Jaroso structural drying program we run.


Before one piece of drying equipment is placed, our Jaroso team completes a full moisture mapping session using FLIR thermal imaging and calibrated pin-type and non-penetrating meters. The map documents all affected assemblies, saturation levels, and the extent of moisture migration through the structure. Equipment placement and sizing are calculated from this map.
Based on the moisture map, our Jaroso drying specialist designs an equipment layout: the number and type of LGR dehumidifiers required for the affected volume, the positioning and orientation of high-velocity air movers to create optimal airflow patterns across saturated assemblies, and the placement of cavity access ports for wall or ceiling injection drying.
Every calendar day, our Jaroso technician visits your property, takes complete psychrometric readings at all sensor points and ambient measurement locations, logs the data, adjusts equipment if indicated, and reports the daily progress to you and your insurance carrier. The drying program continues until all assemblies reach their EMC target range.
When all sensor point readings fall within the target equilibrium moisture content range for the specific materials being dried, we perform a final comprehensive moisture survey of the entire affected area and issue a written drying completion report. This report is included in your insurance claim documentation and serves as your record of successful structural drying.



"We'd had a water damage company dry our house after a previous event and they removed equipment on day 5 and called it done. Three months later, mold behind the walls. This time I specifically chose COS Water Damage Restoration because of their documentation process. Daily readings, specific sensor point data, instrument-confirmed completion. No mold, no callbacks, no repeat of the last time."
"The thermal imaging session at the beginning was what showed us the water had migrated into a wall cavity adjacent to the flooded room that we never would have found otherwise. COS Water Damage Restoration set up wall cavity drying for that section specifically, and the final readings confirmed it came out completely dry alongside everything else. That's the kind of detail that prevents the mold problem three months later."
"We had a particularly complex drying project across three floors of a Jaroso office building after an upstairs pipe event. COS Water Damage Restoration managed the zone readings, adjusted equipment as the drying progressed on different floors at different rates, and wrapped the entire building within 11 days with full documentation. That's professional-grade project management."
