Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Pueblo, CO
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
The slab downstairs has cracked and one side stands higher.
That is the soil pushing up rather than the building sinking, which is the reverse of what most people expect and the characteristic failure on this ground. The soil expands as it takes on moisture and lifts what sits on it. The water nearly always came from the surface, so the work belongs outside: roof discharge clear, irrigation off the wall, ground pitched away.
There is a large structure upstream. Is that the end of it?
For the channel itself it does a great deal; for a house it frequently does nothing. A structure of that kind is built to hold back a flood on the watercourse it stands on. It has no bearing at all on a street inlet at capacity, a lawn draining toward a wall, or the moisture in the soil beside a footing, and those cause most of the damage.
Fourteen inches in an average year and a flood record like this.
Averages describe the ordinary years and say nothing about the rare one. A system that parks against the high ground can put down a large multiple of the annual figure across a few hours onto soil that absorbs almost none of it, into channels shaped by the ordinary case. That is why the flood history reads so strangely against the rainfall number.
