Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Chandler, AZ
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
Why does every neighborhood have a sunken park?
Because development here is required to retain its own stormwater on site rather than discharge it. Those basins are the drainage design, holding runoff until it soaks away or evaporates, and there is generally no pipe taking it anywhere else. When one fills beyond its capacity the water has nowhere further to go.
Nine inches a year cannot be a problem.
The annual figure is close to meaningless here. A monsoon cell can deliver an inch in under an hour onto ground baked hard for months with a cemented caliche layer beneath it, so effectively none of it soaks in. A desert storm produces runoff that a much wetter climate would absorb.
What is caliche?
A naturally cemented layer of calcium carbonate that forms below the surface in arid soils, and here it is often within a few feet. It is close to impermeable, so water moving down stops at it and spreads sideways. It also makes excavation difficult, which is part of why nothing is built below grade.
