Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Lacey, WA
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
The soil is gravel. Why is the crawlspace wet in November?
Because gravel is only the top. Vashon outwash sits on a hardpan that will not take 9.37 inches. Water perches on that pan and finds the crawl. A perc test from a dry July does not describe November. A perc test from a dry July does not describe November on this pan.
Olympia is five miles west. Is this the same Puget lowland problem?
Same climate belt, different ground. Lacey is the outwash prairie and the springs. Olympia's core is the Deschutes and filled inlets. November's total can be similar; the perched-water pan under these 1990s lots is the local mechanism.

A 1996 house is not old. Why would November wet it?
New is not drained. Builder lots on this prairie often send downspouts to the next property line, and the pan makes that line a pond. Age of the roof is not the diagnosis; the grade and the pan are. Age of the roof is not the diagnosis; the grade and the pan are.
