Structural Drying & Dehumidification in Myrtle Beach, 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 building lost its elevators and hot water from a flooded basement.
In a tall building the plant nearly always sits below ground, so a flooded lower level takes out the lifts, the heat, the hot water and the pumps at once, and the loss is measured in weeks of service rather than wet carpet. Protection at the ramp, the vents and the areaway matters more than anything upstairs, because the consequence is out of all proportion to the depth.
The outfall to the beach has stopped taking anything.
Two things close these pipes. Sand works back into them from the beach end, and during a system the surf holds water at the mouth for days together, either of which stops the line flowing while rain is still arriving behind it. Nothing inland is at fault. Where one silts up repeatedly it is worth reporting each occasion rather than assuming somebody has it on a list.
Equipment here fails faster than it did inland.
Airborne salt works on coils, fixings, condensers and anything metal left on a roof, and it does so continuously rather than during weather. The link to water damage is indirect but reliable: a corroded pan, a rusted condensate line or a tired air handler leaks for a long time before it stops working. Anything outdoors that holds or carries water belongs on a schedule.
