Serving Athens
Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Athens, GA
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 house is a student rental on a knob. Is the river still the moisture source?
Usually not. The knob is clay seepage and roof neglect; the Oconee is a terrace-and-table problem. A June cell on residual clay perches in the crawl with the river behaving itself. Treating every wet floor as a flood misses the houses that never saw surface water.
Does a nine-month occupancy change when a leak is found?
It does. Houses empty between terms, so a supply-line failure or a June leak can run for weeks with nobody home to smell it. The assembly is the same as any 1987 crawl; the detection lag is what the university calendar adds.
Piedmont clay vs river sand — does the same June storm wet both?
It wets both, by different paths. Clay perches; sand on the terrace takes the river table. One crawl stays wet because nothing drains. The other wets because the Oconee is in the soil. The storm is the input. The ground decides the job.
