š Nappanee, we don't guess. We measure.
Both of these readings come from one job right here in Nappanee. On the left, a wood framing member reading 19.5%, flagged "at risk" on our meter. On the right, wood reading 10.1% and marked "dry." That difference is the whole point of professional drying.
Wood that stays too wet for too long can swell, warp, lose strength and give mold a place to grow. Wood that looks dry on the surface can still be holding water inside. The only way to know is to measure it, and keep measuring until the numbers are where they should be.
How we use moisture readings on every job:
1. Day one: we take readings to map the wet areas and set our drying goal
2. During drying: we check the same spots again to track progress
3. Adjust: if an area isn't drying, we move or add equipment
4. Finish: we don't pack up until the readings say dry
Nappanee is known for its craftsmanship, from the Amish community and the Barns at Nappanee to the RV and manufacturing shops that keep the town busy. Homes here range from century old farmhouses to newer subdivisions, and many have wood framed floors over basements and crawl spaces. When water gets into that framing from a plumbing leak, a spring storm or a frozen pipe, it needs to be dried the right way. We help homeowners throughout Nappanee (46550), Elkhart County, Kosciusko County and nearby Wakarusa, Bremen, Goshen and Milford.
