Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Durham, NC
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 creek is not something most people here think about.
It drains a large share of the city and much of its catchment is developed, so it responds quickly and carries a great deal. Parts of it run through culverts and channelized reaches that are easy to miss at street level. For many addresses it is far more relevant than any river.
The city has grown enormously.
It has, and the receiving channels have not been enlarged to match. Each development detains its own runoff to the standard of its day while the channel at the bottom takes the sum of all of them. Growth at this pace changes a catchment's hydrology faster than the infrastructure gets revisited.
Why is September the wettest month here?
Because it is when tropical systems reach this far inland. They arrive having lost their wind and kept their moisture, and one that slows over the piedmont delivers rainfall well beyond what ordinary summer storms produce. The monthly average understates what a single such event can do.
