Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Geneva, NY
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 lake is enormous. Does its level move much?
Less than people expect, because it is both very deep and regulated at its outlet. That makes the lake itself a fairly stable factor for most properties. What matters far more here is the slope running down to it, which delivers rainfall to the lower streets quickly regardless of what the lake is doing.
Water enters through the uphill wall of the cellar.
That is what a cellar cut into a slope will do. The uphill wall is holding back saturated hillside and takes lateral pressure carrying water with it, while the other three walls have no such load. A single consistently wet wall points at the siting rather than at a defect in the building.
Thirty-five inches a year is not much.
It is modest, and the ground here has correspondingly little capacity to buffer it. Compact glacial soils on the hillsides take water slowly, so a good deal of even an ordinary storm arrives at the bottom as surface flow. The annual figure understates what any individual storm does on this terrain.
