Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Davenport, 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
Bettendorf is the next city east. Why is this not the same bluff-and-loess story?
Because this side is the flats. Bettendorf climbs; downtown and East Davenport sit on the pool above Dam 15. The 2019 crest was a river-and-sewer event here and a bluff-runoff event there. Same June humidity, two elevations, two jobs.
The dam is holding the river. Does that mean the flats are dry?
It means the pool is managed, not that it is low. A crest can still be passed through, and even an ordinary pool holds a water table in the silt against 1967 basement walls. A quiet dam is not a dry cellar on this alluvium.
Water came up the floor drain during a June storm that did not overtop the bank. How?
From the combined sewer. The flats still run combined in places, so a slow June cell that fills the pipes comes back through the lowest opening. The river can stay between its walls while the basement takes the neighborhood's runoff.
