Structural Drying & Dehumidification in New London, CT
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 Sound is sheltered compared with the open ocean.
It is sheltered from the waves and not from the level. A storm pushing water from the south drives it into a body with a restricted outlet, so the level rises against the shoreline regardless of the shelter. The wave protection is real and it does nothing about surge.
The low streets flood and the hill above them does not.
That is the shape of the city working as expected. Ground rising steeply from the harbor concentrates everything falling on it into the few blocks at the bottom, which are also the blocks closest to tidewater. Those streets get both the runoff from above and the drowned outfall below at the same time.
Does the tide matter if the storm is only rain?
It matters whenever the outfalls are tidal, which here they are. At high water the drains cannot discharge, so rain that arrives in that window backs up in the system regardless of how ordinary the storm is. The same rainfall six hours later often passes through with no trouble at all.
