Open Drying Process
A method of drying a structure after water damage by opening windows and doors to enhance natural airflow. This approach relies on outdoor conditions and is only effective when the outside humidity is low—ideally 50% or less. Improper use of open drying can slow the drying process and increase the risk of mold growth.
