Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Great Falls, MT
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
Fifteen inches a year. What is actually wetting these basements?
The thaw and the wind, not the annual total. A Chinook can melt a winter's snow in a day and put it against a wall that has no time to drain, and a June cell on a strong west wind goes under flashing that was never tested that way. The gauge understates both events.
The roof looks fine after a windy storm. Still worth opening a wall?
Often. Wind-blown rain here enters at caps and sidewalls rather than through the field of the roof, so the covering can be intact while the top plates are wet. The leak path is lateral, which is why the stain shows up a room away from any roof damage.
Clay in a dry climate. How does that open a basement?
By shrinking. Long dry spells pull the clay back from the footing and leave a gap; the next June cell or Chinook thaw uses that gap as a channel. The movement and the water are one cycle, not two separate defects.
