Serving New Haven
Structural Drying & Dehumidification in New Haven, CT
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
West Haven uses this same weather record. Why would our cellars differ?
The ground differs. West Haven is an open shoreline; this city is ridges shedding onto fill. A cellar on the Mill River fill is in tidal groundwater. A cellar on the East Rock slope is in runoff. The gauge is shared; the mechanism is not, and the tails of the two pages are written to stay apart.
The house is a triple-decker. A leak on the third floor wet the first. How far can it travel?
The length of a joist and a stack. Floor framing is continuous, so water runs horizontally and then drops at a chase, often a room or two away from the fault. The stain is the exit. The source is frequently not in the room that is wet.
A cellar on the harbor fill is wet at high tide on a dry day. Rain?
Tide. Fill over former dock and mill ground is porous to the harbor, and a cellar there is a hole in that fill. A sunny high tide is the signature. A storm can add to it; it is not required.
