Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Montgomery, AL
Commercial dehumidifiers and air movers remove moisture from the structure, with daily readings logged from the material itself for claim documentation. 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
Bluff or flats: does it change what should be done?
Completely. On the bluff water arrives across the surface or sideways through the slope, and the work is interception above the building and getting roof water clear. On the flats it arrives from beneath as the river raises the level in the ground, and the work is a pit and a pump. A remedy matched to one is simply wrong for the other.
The flats beside the river were built on early.
They were, at heights fixed long before anyone had measured what the river could do, and the ground there is material the river itself laid down. That combination is why the oldest low-lying neighborhoods carry a different exposure from anything on the bluff, and why elevation for a specific address is worth establishing rather than assuming.
Nothing soaks in on the higher ground.
Clay of this kind takes water very slowly, so most of what lands has to be directed rather than absorbed. Roof water taken well clear and released where it can spread out, the last few feet before a wall pitched away, and a pit and pump for what still arrives cover most of it. Any proposal relying on this soil accepting water deserves scrutiny.
