Structural drying that finishes on a timeline, not when the instruments confirm it, leads to mold behind walls and the callbacks that follow. Our Cisco 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 Cisco team brings to every structural drying project that ensures complete, documented results.
Undersized or generic dehumidification is the most common technical failure in Cisco drying projects.
Documented daily readings are what separate a professional drying program from a rental dehumidifier in the corner.
Wall cavity drying is where most post-loss mold in Cisco properties originates. It's where we focus.
COS Water Damage Restoration's Cisco 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.
Here are the specific drying scenarios and assembly types our Cisco team is equipped and trained to handle.
Wall cavity drying in Cisco is standard procedure on every job where moisture mapping indicates wall system saturation.
Subfloor and hardwood drying in Cisco is species-specific and requires daily monitoring of cupping and moisture gradient.
Crawlspace saturation after a water event in Cisco often goes undetected — we include it in every below-grade moisture mapping session.
Water that migrates down from an upper floor or a roof intrusion in a Cisco property saturates ceiling drywall and the framing above it — areas that are impossible to reach with standard floor-level equipment. Our Cisco team installs ceiling injection ports and directs positive-pressure airflow through ceiling cavities, combined with LGR dehumidification of the affected room air space. Ceiling drywall that cannot be dried to target moisture content is removed — rather than left to become a mold substrate — and documented in the scope for replacement.
Large water events in Cisco 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 Cisco 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.
Every active structural drying program in Cisco is also a mold prevention program — because the conditions that support mold growth (elevated moisture content in organic materials and elevated relative humidity in the air space) are exactly the conditions a drying program is designed to eliminate. Our daily reading sessions include assessment of the ambient RH and temperature conditions in each drying zone against the threshold conditions that support mold colonization. If readings suggest an elevated mold risk — particularly in projects where extraction was delayed — we address it proactively with targeted antimicrobial treatment during the active drying program.


Before one piece of drying equipment is placed, our Cisco 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.
Equipment placement is engineered based on the moisture map and assembly data — not placed by habit.
Daily readings, daily reporting, daily equipment adjustment if needed — documented throughout.
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 manage several Cisco commercial properties and structural drying after water events is something we deal with periodically. COS Water Damage Restoration is the only company we use because of their documentation process. Zone-specific readings, daily logs we can review from our office, and a written drying completion report at the end of every project. When a tenant asks for proof that remediation was complete, we have an instrument-confirmed document, not a technician's verbal assurance."
