Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Coral Gables, FL
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 ground swallows rain all year and then it does not.
That is the water beneath rather than the rock changing. Porous limestone takes water downward readily while there is room below, and in the wet season there is not, because the level has risen to within a foot or two of the surface. The same yard that drains an inch in minutes in March holds it in September. Nothing has clogged; the space underneath has filled.
Does the review board affect what can be done about water?
It affects anything visible from the street or original to the building, which includes gutters, downspouts and any change to the exterior. That does not prevent work; it means the approach has to be chosen with the constraint in mind rather than discovered partway through. A short conversation before specifying the work saves considerable difficulty afterward.
Does the canal drain the neighborhood?
Only while its level is below the ground beside it, which in the wet season is often not the case. These are managed water bodies with operating levels set deliberately and lowered ahead of storms, rather than drains that take whatever arrives. What the canal reads on an ordinary September afternoon tells you more about how much room there is than any rainfall forecast.
