Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Mount Pleasant, SC
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 behind here is small. Should it be a concern?
Its size at low water is misleading, because a channel like that is a connection to the sea rather than something draining land. Whatever the coast does travels up it, so a narrow creek can deliver water with no relation to local rainfall at all. The figure worth following is the forecast tide rather than the rain gauge, which is the reverse of what a channel that size suggests.
How far up do these creeks stay tidal?
Further than nearly anyone expects. A property a mile from open water can sit at the head of one and feel the same twice-daily movement, and from the ground there is often nothing to indicate it because the channel is behind a treeline. The mapping settles it in a couple of minutes and it is worth checking rather than judging by eye.
This subdivision is barely twenty years old.
It is designed to a stated storm size rather than to any storm, and on ground this flat the design also assumes the receiving creeks can take what is sent to them, which stops being true when the tide is up. New drainage fails differently from old drainage rather than not at all, and the failures are usually the receiving end rather than the pipes.
