Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Littleton, CO
Commercial air movers and low-grain refrigerant dehumidifiers pull moisture out of the structure, with daily moisture-meter readings logged for your insurer. Structural drying brings building materials back to a documented dry standard using air movers and dehumidifiers rather than surface evaporation alone. Moisture readings are logged through the process so the substrate, not just the surface, is confirmed dry before anything is rebuilt.

Frequently asked questions
The High Line is a ditch, not a river. Why would a basement along it wet?
Because it is a full ditch for weeks in May. Snowmelt keeps it charged, and unlined or leaky reaches put that water into the terrace. A walk-out that faces the easement is looking at a water table, not a park. The Platte can be behaving itself the whole time.
Eighteen inches a year. How is the Platte a moisture problem?
The annual figure is the wrong one. May melt plus a Front Range burst puts a season into the channel in a week. Terrace groundwater rises with the river even when the bank holds. A basement on that terrace is a hole in a water table the mountains are still filling.
The house is a 1982 walk-out. Was the canal in the original grading?
As a view, yes. As a drain, often no. Lots were sold to the easement as if the ditch were decorative. Walk-out floors sit near ditch grade, and May is when that grade is a water surface. Interior coatings will not stop a canal that is leaking on the other side of the patio.
