Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Ankeny, IA
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 houses are from 2006. How is Fourmile Creek still in the basement conversation?
The houses are new. The creek is not. Fourmile already had a floodplain when the farm was platted, and a 2006 pad on that swale still takes June. Newness meant a sump and a code crawl space. It did not move the creek. Age of the roof is not elevation above Fourmile.
West Des Moines is also a Des Moines suburb. Same June, same problem?
Same month, different water. They have the Raccoon and Valley Junction mill basements. Ankeny has Fourmile and leftover tiles under a 2006 grade. Treating metro suburbs as one soil is how a Raccoon story gets copied onto a northern creek lot and fails.
The builder graded away from the house. Why is the well full after June?
Because 2006 grading is still settling, and because the tile under the former field can surcharge into the well from below. Surface slope can look right and the water still arrive through the pit. The grade is the yard. The tile is the farm. June tests both.
