Serving Rapid City
Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Rapid City, SD
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
No rain here, but the creek is climbing. How is that possible?
The water is coming off the hills, not out of the town gauge. Snowpack in the Black Hills melts on a schedule set by elevation and sun, and Rapid Creek delivers that melt through town whether or not a drop has fallen on the bench. Local weather is a poor predictor of the channel.
Was the 1972 flood a one-time event or a map?
It is a map. The water took a path the topography still has, and a large share of the housing rebuilt in those blocks rather than leaving them. A smaller event uses the same streets; the difference is depth, not direction.
The west-side basement wall moves every spring. Why?
Freeze-thaw against a hillside wall. The west side backs into the foothills, so the uphill face of a basement retains a tall wedge of soil that saturates in May and then heaves as nights still freeze. The crack that opens in April is often the same one that closed in August.
