What is one of the most effective methods for drying wet wood under hard surfaces?

Heated airflow is particularly effective for drying wet wood under hard surfaces because it promotes more rapid evaporation of moisture. When warm air is directed across wet surfaces, it increases the temperature of the wood, which enhances the drying process. The warm air helps to raise the moisture content in the wood to a point where it can evaporate more easily. This method not only accelerates the drying time but also penetrates areas that might be difficult to reach otherwise.

The use of heated airflow can be strategically focused on specific areas where moisture is trapped, ensuring a more efficient drying process compared to other methods. This approach is optimal in scenarios where timely remediation is crucial to prevent further damage such as mold growth or wood degradation.
