Licensing
Do you need a license in New Hampshire?
Applied Structural Drying is a technical specialty and is generally not separately licensed in New Hampshire. However, when drying work is part of a larger restoration or repair project it can fall under general contractor expectations or mold protocols, and a local business registration may apply. Always confirm current state and local requirements for your specific scope of work. A NISCR certificate documents your training and is not a government-issued license.
A NISCR Certificate of Completion confirms completion of NISCR training and examination. It is a professional credential, not a government license. Where local law requires a license to perform a service, the technician is responsible for obtaining it.

The applied structural drying market in New Hampshire
New Hampshire's damp springs, humid lakeside summers around Lake Winnipesaukee, and cold-weather pipe failures leave structures saturated and at risk of secondary mold damage. Proper structural drying is essential in the state's older, tightly built homes where moisture lingers in framing and cavities, making this skill highly valued by restoration firms.

Curriculum
What you’ll learn
- Read a psychrometric chart to track temperature, relative humidity, GPP, and dew point through a drying job.
- Calculate the number of air movers and dehumidifier capacity a structure requires based on affected area and class of water.
- Choose between refrigerant, LGR, and desiccant dehumidifiers for the conditions and load on site.
- Design directional airflow that moves moisture off surfaces and into the dehumidification system efficiently.
- Apply controlled drying to wet materials — drywall, framing, hardwood, and concrete — instead of premature removal.
