What is primarily measured to assess the success of a structural drying project?

Moisture content in materials
Colors of materials
Weight of the materials
Cost of the restoration

The correct answer is: Moisture content in materials

To determine the success of a structural drying project, the moisture content in materials is primarily measured. This is because the goal of the drying process is to bring the moisture levels within structural components—such as walls, flooring, and ceilings—down to acceptable levels that indicate no further risk of mold growth or structural deterioration. By accurately measuring moisture content, restoration professionals can ensure that all affected materials have been adequately dried and that the environment is safe for occupants. Monitoring moisture levels helps assess the effectiveness of drying equipment and techniques used during the restoration process, allowing for timely adjustments if certain areas are not drying as expected. Achieving the appropriate moisture content is essential for maintaining the integrity of the structure and preventing long-term problems such as mold infestation and structural damage.
