Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Montpelier, VT
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
Downtown flooded twice in twelve years. Is the basement still the first thing that fails?
Yes. The valley floor is the confluence, and a 1955-median basement on that floor is below the grade the last two crests used. Even when the next flood is smaller, silt and a raised water table keep those walls wet long after the river has gone back between its banks.
The North Branch is a small stream. Why would it matter as much as the Winooski?
Because they do not peak together. A storm centered on one catchment can load the Branch while the Winooski is still ordinary, or the reverse, and the downtown floor takes whichever combination arrives. Two clocks on one valley is worse than one large river.
We are on the hillside, not downtown. Out of it?
Out of inundation, not out of the water. The valley is narrow enough that a hillside lot is a catchment for the house below, and July rain on that slope is against the uphill wall in minutes. Elevation trades a flood for a shedding problem.
