Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Burbank, CA
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
Fire went through the hills above. What follows?
Nearly everything about how that ground handles rain. Burned slopes shed instead of absorbing and carry soil, ash and rock with the water, so a storm that would have passed unremarked can produce a flow of material. The raised risk lasts several years while vegetation returns rather than a single season, and a plan has to reflect that.
What are those basins above the streets for?
They catch the rock and soil coming off the slopes so what reaches the roads is water rather than a moving mass. They work by filling up, which means their capacity has to be restored between events. A basin that has not been cleared has less room than it was designed with, and that is a fair thing to ask about.
Everyone on this street seems to fail in the same season.
They were finished within a couple of years of each other to one specification, so the pipe, the flashing detail and the position of the heater are identical door to door. Things fitted together wear out together. What the neighbors dealt with last winter is a fair forecast for this house, particularly for anything never replaced.
