Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Hastings, NE
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
Two rivers bound this town and neither runs through it. Why is May still in the basement?
Because the divide perches. Loess on this grade takes May rain and does not pass it down or away. Piping under the footing is a silt problem, not a Platte problem and not a Republican problem. Being between two basins is not the same as being dry.
The ammunition depot closed decades ago. Can its laterals still wet a house?
They can. Buried irrigation and industrial lines were not all pulled, and a 1964 plat on that ground can sit over a path the maps no longer draw. May rain is one input; a leaking lateral is another, and it does not wait on the wettest month.
A 1964 wall here sees months of freeze. What does that do before May's 5.19 inches arrive?
It works the joints. Deep heave and thaw pull the wall from the footing a little each winter. May rain then has openings that did not exist when the wall was new, which is why a dry house on this divide can start leaking in its third decade even with no river in town.
