Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Palm Beach Gardens, 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 canal was lowered before the storm and it still came up.
Drawing a canal down ahead of a system creates room, and on a heavy enough rain that room is used up. The pre-storm lowering is why a great many events pass without incident rather than a guarantee against all of them. What it does mean is that the canal level in the days before a storm is public, meaningful information, and worth looking at rather than assuming.
The neighborhood drainage works and the water still stands.
Internal drainage only functions while the water it discharges into is lower than it is. Once the main canal comes up, the swales and pipes inside a subdivision have nowhere to send anything and the whole system stops, however well built it is. That is why standing water inside a neighborhood is usually a fact about the canal rather than about the neighborhood.
Sixty-six inches. Does the ground ever actually dry?
Less often than in most places, and that is the practical consequence of the figure. Between June and October the profile rarely drains completely before the next rain arrives, so ground that would recover elsewhere simply does not. Anything at or below grade is therefore under a longer-running load here, and small leaks have far more time to do damage than the same leak would further north.
