Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Margate, 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
Almost nothing here has been rebuilt since it went up.
Which is unusual in this part of the state and it matters twice over. Elevations were set to the standards of one decade and never revised upward by redevelopment, and the plumbing across a whole city is of one age and reaching the end of it together. Both of those are knowable in advance rather than surprises.
The swale between the properties has been filled and planted.
That is the commonest single cause of a wet lot here, because those shallow channels are the drainage rather than landscaping and they only work as a continuous line. One filled section stops the whole run. Walking its full length after rain, across the boundaries, shows where it was broken far better than any drawing.
The canal system here is held at a level by a district.
It is, and that district publishes the levels it holds and the schedule it works to. That is worth knowing, because the canal is not a stream finding its own height: it is a managed level that gets lowered ahead of a forecast storm and cannot be lowered past what the coastal structures downstream will accept.
