Structural Drying & Dehumidification in New Albany, IN
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
Most of what reaches this lot started a long way above it.
With slopes that size immediately behind the city, a property at the bottom receives whatever the hills shed as well as whatever falls on it, and the two need different work. Gutters and grading handle the roof and do nothing about a flow arriving from several hundred feet of elevation. Interception across the hillside is what changes that.
The hills behind the city are steep and the ground in front is flat.
Which produces two unrelated problems within a mile. Up on the slope water arrives sideways through the ground and at speed; down on the flat by the river it is a matter of levels and how long they stay up. A plan drawn for one of those is close to useless at the other.
What survives a fortnight under water?
The structure and the hard surfaces, and very little else. Porous material submerged that long is finished whatever a meter reads afterward, and none of the drying can begin until the level has fallen. Saying so at the outset stops money going into equipment aimed at things being removed anyway.
