Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Akron, OH
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 city has been boring a tunnel to hold storm flow.
It has, to stop the combined system relieving itself into the river during heavy rain, and it works by storing a surge underground until the treatment works can take it. The benefit reaches different neighborhoods at different times as the work progresses. Whether it has reached a particular street is a question the city can answer directly.
Which way does this neighborhood actually drain?
The valleys here are steep and short, so a stream reaches its peak within the hour and drops just as fast. There is no useful warning window in that. What it means practically is that anything to be done at a property on one of those valleys has to have been done in advance rather than when the level starts moving.
Can a surcharge be seen coming at all?
To a degree, and what to watch is the character of the storm rather than its size. A long steady rain rarely fills the main; a violent quarter of an hour regularly does. So the forecast worth acting on is the one talking about rates and cells, and acting on it means nothing more than lifting things off the cellar floor beforehand.
