Structural Drying & Dehumidification in St. George, UT
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
What is different about gypsum soil?
It is soluble. Repeated wetting dissolves material and the ground above settles into the void, so a persistent leak or badly aimed irrigation does more than saturate the soil — it can remove some of it. The failure is settlement rather than simply damp.
Nine inches of rain. How does flooding happen at all?
Through rate and surface. Monsoon cells deliver a large share of the year in a few violent bursts onto rock and desert pavement that absorb virtually nothing, so almost all of it becomes runoff. A wash that was dry all morning can be running bank to bank by afternoon.
Does landscape irrigation matter to the foundation?
More than in most climates. On soluble soils, keeping the ground beside a foundation persistently wet is the exact condition that causes settlement, and irrigation is the most common way that happens in a place with almost no natural rainfall.
