Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Atlanta, GA
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
This city sits on a divide rather than on a river.
It does, which is unusual for a city this size and it explains a good deal. There is no large river to flood, and every drop that lands here starts a stream rather than joining one. That makes the hazard local and quick: small creeks that rise within the hour, with no gauge upstream to give warning.
Water came up out of the cellar floor and the street stayed dry.
A full main relieves itself through the lowest opening it is connected to, and in the older half of the city that is the floor drain, so what arrives is the street's water rather than the ground's. Nothing done outside alters it. What does is a valve on that line, or lifting the house's drainage above street level.
The city's sewers have been under a repair order for years.
They have, and the work reaches different neighborhoods at different times, which is the part that matters for an address. Where an old combined or leaking line has not yet been relieved, heavy rain still surcharges it. Whether the work has reached a particular street is a question the city can answer directly.
