Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Eagan, MN
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 kettle has no stream leaving it. Is that why the walkout stays wet?
Yes. A kettle is a closed bowl. June rain has nowhere to go but the water table in that bowl, and a walkout poured on the lake margin is a hole in that table. Outlet-less is the whole hydrology, not a missing ditch someone forgot to dig.
The house is on the bluff, not the bottoms. Why would the river still matter?
The bluff sheds to the river, so every lot is a step on that staircase. A cut basement takes what the hillside above it passes down, and June is when that volume arrives. Being above the floodplain answers the overbank question and leaves the seepage question open.
A 1988 basement should have drain tile. Why is it still a June problem?
The tile is only as good as where it dumps. Many of these plats outlet into a swale or a neighbor's yard that later construction filled. Tile that once had a fall now sits in a bowl, and June rain then recirculates at the footing instead of leaving.
