Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Dickinson, ND
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
Nineteen inches a year. Why would a basement here move at all?
Because the soil and the freeze do the work the rain total does not. Pierre shale changes volume with small wettings, and a long freeze heaves the same wall for months. June then wets the shale just as the frost leaves, so one modest month undoes a winter of movement and starts a new one.
The addition is from the oil boom and the original house is not. Why is the old basement wetter?
Fill. Boom additions often sit on imported material that drains toward the older footing, so the original basement becomes the low point of a lot that used to shed away from it. The new rooms can be dry while the 1970s wall takes water the addition redirected.
Hail and rain in the same cell. Which one opens the roof?
Usually the hail, with the rain as the test. Hail strips granules and bruises the mat without making a hole you can see from the ground, and the rain immediately behind it uses whatever that opened. The leak may wait a season, which is why the connection to the storm is easy to miss.
