Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Marlton, NJ
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
Nothing runs off at all and the crawl is still wet.
On sand it is rarely runoff. Rain goes straight down until it meets the water already there, and through a wet season that comes up to within a couple of feet of the surface across wide areas, at which point the crawl is sitting in it. Nothing has failed and nothing is leaking: the ground has risen to meet the building, which is a different problem entirely.
How far does the water level move between seasons?
Several feet in an ordinary year, which is more than most people assume and enough to change what a property does. A crawl that is dry in September can have standing water in it by April with nothing having changed above ground. Knowing what it does in spring rather than in autumn is what makes the picture accurate.
It rose over two days and it is taking a week to leave.
Channels with almost no gradient move water away at a crawl, so the level climbs slowly and then holds rather than passing. Duration is what decides the damage in that situation rather than depth, because material that shrugs off an afternoon under water does not survive seven days of it. Planning for a property near one has to assume a long event.
