Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Lee's Summit, MO
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 lakes around the city are private rather than public.
Many of them are, held by associations formed with the subdivisions around them, and that decides who can authorize work on a dam, an outlet or a bank. It regularly catches owners out. The state register of dams shows which structures are recorded and who is responsible, and it is worth checking before assuming the city will act.
The clay here sheds water like a driveway.
It takes in remarkably little once its first fraction of an inch is used, so a lawn behaves closer to pavement through the rest of a storm. That is why regrading alone so often disappoints: nothing is soaking in regardless of the shape of the ground, so the water has to be given a route rather than a slope.
Who is actually responsible for that basin?
Nearly always the residents jointly rather than the city, which surprises people. The developer built it, handed it over with the subdivision, and after that the small outlet at the low end determines whether it does anything. Those fill with silt invisibly. A basin that drains down more slowly each year is the warning worth acting on.
